Ingredients
Taco Soup:
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- ½ red bell pepper, diced
- ½ green bell pepper, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 Tbsp Taco Seasoning, or more to taste
- 16 oz can beans, drained (kidney or pinto)
- 1 cup corn, canned, freshly or frozen
- 1 1/2 cups tomatoes, diced, from about 1 lb fresh tomatoes*
- 2 cups beef broth
Instructions
- In a Dutch oven, heat oil. Once hot, add the ground beef, onion, and bell peppers and sauté until the beef is browned, breaking it up with a spatula as you cook. Spoon out any excess fat.
- Add garlic and Taco Seasoning, and stir for another minute.
- Add beans, corn, tomatoes and broth. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to low, cover, and keep at a simmer for for 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper to taste, or add more taco seasoning.
- Serve soup hot with your desired toppings.
Notes
Variations:
- For spicier soup - chop jalapeños to add with the garlic, or add Sriracha or hot sauce at the end
- Adjust the thickness by adding or reducing the amount of broth or adding an extra can of beans or even refried beans for a thicker soup.
- Swap the protein - instead of beef, try ground turkey, pork, or chicken. For shredded chicken, check out our recipe for our Chicken Tortilla Soup
- Canned tomatoes - Instead of fresh tomatoes, add two cans (10 oz each) of Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilis.
