Equipment

  • 1 Dutch oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup chopped peppers
  • 1 cup corn
  • 1 pint canned diced tomatoes liquid included
  • 1 15 oz can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 tbls tomato paste
  • 1 tbls cumin
  • 1 tbls garlic powder
  • ½ tbs chili powder
  • 1 tbls salt
  • 4 cups water

Toppings

  • cilantro
  • diced green onions
  • shredded cheese
  • tortilla chips
  • sour cream
  • chopped jalapeños
  • chopped avocados

Instructions
 

  • In your Dutch oven or large pot on the stovetop, cook the ground beef. I don't remove it at this point like a lot of times recipes have you do. If it doesn't have a lot of fat I leave it all in there, I just don't add any other oil.
  • Add the onions, peppers, beans, tomatoes, corn, water, tomato paste and all the spices.
  • Let that come to a boil, turn it down, and then let it simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Add some chopped cilantro at the end there, but leave some to garnish your bowl. If it's too thick, add some water. When you are ready to serve, scoop the hearty soup into your bowls, and top it with a dollop of sour cream for a creamy texture.

Notes

Once you picked what to serve with your taco soup, complete the dish with a choice of toppings:
  • corn tortilla chips
  • shredded cheddar cheese
  • avocado slices
  • chopped red onions
  • sour cream
  • fresh cilantro
  • green onions (my fave)
  • pickled or fresh jalapeños (only my husband) 
  • green chiles
  • hot sauce
