Ingredients
Meat and Vegetables
- 1 lb ground beef or turkey
- 1 onion, chopped
Seasonings and Canned Goods
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained
- 1 (15 oz) can corn, drained
- 1 (14 oz) can diced tomatoes
Liquids
- 2 cups beef broth
Instructions
- Brown the Meat and Onion: In a large pot over medium heat, cook the ground beef or turkey with the chopped onion until the meat is browned and the onion is softened. Drain any excess fat to keep the soup light.
- Add Seasoning and Tomatoes: Stir in the taco seasoning packet and the diced tomatoes with their juices, mixing well to combine all the flavors.
- Combine Beans, Corn, and Broth: Add the drained black beans, corn, and beef broth to the pot. Stir everything thoroughly to incorporate all ingredients.
- Simmer the Soup: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes to allow flavors to meld and soup to thicken slightly.
- Serve and Garnish: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and top with your choice of shredded cheese, diced avocado, and crunchy tortilla strips for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- Add extra heat by including chopped jalapeños or a splash of your favorite hot sauce.
- This soup freezes well—store leftovers in airtight containers and reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave.
