Description

When the weather turns chilly, this stovetop taco soup is your ultimate comfort food. Loaded with seasoned ground beef, beans, corn, and a flavorful tomato base, it’s a hearty, one-pot meal that’s easy to make and bursting with taco-inspired flavors.


Ingredients

1 lb ground chuck (80/20)
1 packet taco seasoning (1 oz) or 3 tbsp homemade seasoning
1 medium yellow onion, diced (1½ cups)
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 cans (14.5 oz each) fire-roasted diced tomatoes
3 cups beef stock
1 can (4 oz) diced green chiles
1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (15.25 oz) corn, drained, or 1½ cups frozen corn
1 cup shredded cheddar or Colby Jack cheese
½ cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped


Instructions

  • Cook the Meat and Aromatics:
    • Heat a large 6-quart Dutch oven over medium heat.
    • Add ground chuck and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, for about 5 minutes. Sprinkle taco seasoning evenly over the beef.
    • Add diced onion and minced garlic. Cook until onions are soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. Remove excess fat from the pot.
  • Add Tomatoes, Stock, and Chiles:
    • Stir in fire-roasted diced tomatoes, beef stock, and diced green chiles.
    • Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Incorporate Beans and Corn:
    • Add black beans and corn to the pot.
    • Cover again and simmer for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasoning with salt or extra taco seasoning if needed.
  • Finish with Cheese and Cilantro:
    • Turn off the heat and stir in shredded cheese and fresh cilantro.
    • Mix until the cheese melts and the cilantro is evenly distributed.

Notes
