Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef Use lean ground beef for a healthier option.
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed Ensure well-drained for best consistency.
  • 1 can (15 oz) corn, drained Ensure well-drained for best consistency.
  • 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 1 cup heavy cream For a lighter version, use half-and-half.
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste Adjust according to preference.
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish Optional topping.

Method
 

Cooking
  1. In a large soup pot over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until it's fully browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.
  2. Once the beef is browning, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
  3. Pour in the beef broth, then stir in the black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes with green chilies. Mix everything together and bring it to a gentle boil for about 5 minutes.
  4. Reduce the heat to low, and pour in the heavy cream. Stir well, adding the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper to taste. Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
  5. Scoop your soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve hot.

Notes

Allow the soup to simmer longer for better flavor. Use lean ground turkey or chicken for a healthier option. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer. Reheat gently on the stove.
