Beef Taco Soup

Step 1

In a large stock pot or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium high for 2 minutes until the oil is sizzling hot. Add ground beef and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned. Make sure to break up the beef into small pieces to help with even browning.

Step 2

Add onion, jalapeño, and garlic. Stir well to combine and continue to cook for 3-4 minutes until tender. Stir in paprika, cumin, and crushed pepper until evenly mixed.

Step 3

Add crushed tomatoes and beef broth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover the lid and let it simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Add black beans and corn. Stir well to mix and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.

Step 5

Serve immediately and add toppings including tortilla chips, cilantro, lime juice, avocado, and cheddar cheese.
