Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tbsp Taco seasoning
• 2 tbsp Tomato paste
• 14.5 oz Canned diced tomatoes
• 15 oz Canned black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 cup Frozen corn
• 4 cups Beef or chicken broth
• 1 cup Rotini pasta
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for garnish)
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for garnish)
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and ground beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until the meat is browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease, if necessary.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the taco seasoning and tomato paste, allowing the spices to toast and the tomato paste to coat the beef for 1-2 minutes.

Step 4

Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), black beans, corn, and broth. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and let the soup cook for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 6

Stir in the rotini pasta and continue to simmer, uncovered, for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the pasta is tender.

Step 7

Taste the soup and season with salt and black pepper as needed.

Step 8

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with shredded cheddar cheese, chopped cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream, if desired. Serve hot.
