  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz) corn kernels, drained
  • 1 cup beef or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: chopped cilantro, sliced jalapeños, crushed tortilla chips, additional shredded cheese

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain excess fat if necessary, then remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, add diced onions and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Return the cooked ground beef to the pot. Stir in the taco seasoning, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Add the diced tomatoes, black beans, corn, and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes to meld flavors.
  4. Lower the heat and stir in the sour cream and shredded cheddar cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese melts and the soup is creamy. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings like chopped cilantro, jalapeños, or crushed tortilla chips. Serve hot and enjoy a hearty, cheesy bowl of taco soup!
