Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef or ground turkey
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 28 ounces diced tomatoes
• 4 cups beef or chicken broth
• 15 ounces black beans, drained and rinsed
• 15 ounces pinto beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup frozen corn
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 medium lime, juiced
• 2 cups tortilla chips, for serving
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, for garnish
• 0.5 cup sour cream, for garnish

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and stir for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the ground beef or turkey to the pot, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.

Step 4

Stir in the taco seasoning, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices and enhance their flavor.

Step 5

Pour in the diced tomatoes (with juices) and beef or chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the black beans, pinto beans, and frozen corn. Stir to combine, then let the soup simmer gently for 20 minutes to meld the flavors.

Step 7

Stir in the freshly chopped cilantro and lime juice right before serving for a burst of brightness.

Step 8

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a handful of crushed tortilla chips.
