Instructions
- Sauté Vegetables
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and celery sticks. Cook until the vegetables soften and become tender, approximately 5 minutes. - Cook Ground Beef
Add the ground beef to the pot with the sautéed vegetables. Cook and crumble the beef, stirring occasionally, until it is no longer pink. - Add Garlic and Spices
Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, oregano, Kosher salt, and ground black pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the spices to bloom and the garlic to become aromatic. - Combine Remaining Ingredients
Add the canned diced tomatoes, canned diced tomatoes with green chilies, chili beans, canned corn, green beans, and diced potatoes to the pot. Pour in the beef broth to cover the ingredients. Mix well. - Simmer
Bring the soup to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and cook for approximately 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. - Garnish and Serve
Once the soup is ready, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro or parsley. Serve hot, paired with rustic bread or your choice of sides. Enjoy!
Notes
- To customize the flavor, you can add a few drops of hot sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra heat.
- If you don’t have canned chili beans, you can substitute with black beans or kidney beans, adding a bit of chili seasoning for similar flavor.
- For a more robust taste, use fire-roasted canned tomatoes instead of regular diced tomatoes.
- You can store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
