Ingredients

Here are the ingredients you’ll need for your Dolly’s Stampede Soup:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 can (15 oz) corn, drained
• 1 can (28 oz) diced tomatoes
• 4 cups beef broth
• 2 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp cumin
• Salt and pepper to taste

Note: Feel free to substitute with ground turkey if you prefer a lighter option, ensuring it remains a delightful Halal-friendly dish!

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat a drizzle of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
2. Brown the Beef: Increase the heat slightly and add the ground beef to the pot. Cook until it’s brown, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, roughly 7-10 minutes.
3. Combine the Ingredients: Once the beef is browned, drain any excess fat if necessary. Add the rinsed black beans, drained corn, diced tomatoes (with juice), beef broth, chili powder, cumin, and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
4. Bring to a Simmer: Stir everything together and allow the soup to come to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
5. Serve and Enjoy: Once the soup has simmered, taste for seasoning, adjusting as necessary. Ladle it into bowls, add your favorite toppings, and enjoy the warmth alongside your family and friends!

Top Tips for Perfecting Dolly’s Stampede Soup

1. Substitutions: Feeling creative? Swap the ground beef for ground chicken or turkey for a lighter dish, or go meatless by using extra beans or lentils instead!
2. Timing: For more depth in flavor, let it simmer longer (up to an hour) on low heat. Just be sure to add a little extra broth or water if it thickens too much.
3. Avoiding Common Mistakes: A common mistake is over-salting at the beginning. It’s best to adjust seasonings towards the end. You can always add more, but you can’t take it out!

Storing and Reheating Tips

Dolly’s Stampede Soup makes excellent leftovers! Store any extra portions in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. When reheating, you can simply warm it in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of broth or water if it has thickened.

Now that you are equipped with a delightful recipe for Dolly’s Stampede Soup, it’s time to gather your ingredients and start cooking. Don’t forget to enjoy every comforting bite with your loved ones. Happy cooking!
