Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz) corn, drained
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 cup sour cream or Halal-friendly alternative
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • to taste Salt and pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by chopping the onion and mincing your garlic. Drain and rinse the black beans and corn.
Cooking
  1. In a large pot, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until the onions are translucent, which should take another 3-4 minutes.
  3. Stir in the black beans, corn, diced tomatoes (with juices), beef broth, and taco seasoning. Allow the mixture to come to a light boil.
  4. Lower the heat and incorporate the sour cream and half of your shredded cheese. Stir until everything is well combined and the cheese is melted, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Taste and adjust with salt and pepper as needed.
Serving
  1. Ladle into bowls and top with the remaining cheese and any other desired toppings.
  2. Sit back, relax, and enjoy your Hearty Creamy Taco Soup!

Notes

For substitutions, try adding more beans or quinoa, or replace the meat with Halal ground turkey. To store, keep in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat gently on the stove.
