Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 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
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1/2 cup heavy cream for creamy variation

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess fat.
  2. Add chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, and oregano. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add diced tomatoes (undrained), kidney beans, black beans, corn, and beef broth to the pot.
  5. Bring the soup to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let it cook for at least 20 minutes to allow flavors to combine.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
  7. For the creamy variation, remove the pot from the heat and stir in the heavy cream until fully incorporated. Heat gently for a few minutes, but do not boil.
  8. Serve this filling family meal hot.

Notes

  • For a slow cooker soup idea, brown the beef and sauté the onion/garlic on the stovetop first. Transfer all ingredients (except heavy cream) to the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. Stir in cream at the end if using.
  • Serve this rustic soup recipe with cornbread or crusty bread for dipping.
  • This recipe makes a great winter warm up meal and is easily doubled for larger gatherings.
