Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes (with juices)
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 4 cups beef broth
• 15 ounces black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup corn kernels (frozen or canned, drained)
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
• 0.5 cup shredded cheese (optional, for topping)
• 0.25 cup sour cream (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-6 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

Step 4

Stir in taco seasoning, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper until the meat and onions are well coated with the spices.

Step 5

Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and beef broth. Stir to combine and bring the soup to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Once simmering, stir in the black beans and corn. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the soup simmer for 10-12 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Remove the pot from heat and stir in lime juice. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning, if needed.

Step 8

Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream if desired.
