Method
- In a soup pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef, chopped onions, and minced garlic. Break up the meat with a wooden spoon and cook for 10-12 minutes until beef is completely browned and no pink remains.
- Add diced tomatoes with green chiles, beef broth, paprika, black pepper, chili powder, and cumin to the pot. Stir everything together to combine the flavors.
- Add the drained and rinsed black beans, pinto beans, and thawed corn. Stir well to incorporate all ingredients.
- Bring the soup to a rolling boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low and maintain a gentle simmer for 30 minutes to 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve hot with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, cilantro, and crushed tortilla chips.
- CROCKPOT METHOD: Brown beef, onions, and garlic in a pan for 10-12 minutes. Transfer to crockpot with all remaining ingredients. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
- INSTANT POT METHOD: Set to Saute and brown beef, onions, and garlic for 10-12 minutes, scraping up browned bits. Add remaining ingredients, seal lid, and cook on Manual Pressure for 6 minutes. Quick release pressure when done.
Notes
Can substitute ground turkey for ground beef. Use any type of beans (kidney, navy, chickpeas). Soup freezes well for up to 3 months. Best served with toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, cilantro, lime, and tortilla chips.
