Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can corn, drained
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 cups diced potatoes (about 2 medium)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain off any excess fat.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic, chili powder, smoked paprika, oregano, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the diced tomatoes (with juice), kidney beans, black beans, corn, beef broth, and diced potatoes.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  6. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the heavy cream until the broth is fully incorporated and creamy.
  7. Taste and add salt if needed. Serve hot, topping each bowl with shredded cheddar cheese if desired.

Notes

  • For a smoky cowboy soup flavor, add a dash of liquid smoke when you add the broth.
  • You can substitute ground turkey for ground beef to make this a lighter meal.
  • This soup freezes well; cool completely before transferring to an airtight container for meal prepping.
