• 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic; sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 2

Add the ground beef to the pot and cook until browned, breaking up the meat with a spoon as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Step 3

Stir in the taco seasoning mix, ensuring the ground beef is evenly coated.

Step 4

Add the beef broth, black beans, kidney beans, corn, diced tomatoes, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and chopped green bell pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine.

Step 5

Season the soup with salt and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot with your choice of toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, diced avocado, or tortilla chips.
