Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb. lean ground beef
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • ½ tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon adobo seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 10 oz. cans diced tomatoes with green chiles (rotel)
  • 1 15 oz. can black beans, drained & rinsed
  • 1 15 oz. can pinto beans, drained & rinsed
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 3 cups chicken broth (or beef broth)

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Drain off any excess fat.
  • Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the pot. Stir and cook with the beef for 2-3 minutes.
  • Now add the tomato paste and the seasonings (chili powder, ground cumin, salt, adobo seasoning, smoked paprika, and dried oregano). Stir everything together and cook for 1 minute.
  • Next add both cans of diced tomatoes with green chiles, black beans, pinto beans, frozen corn, and the broth. Stir until everything is combined.
  • Bring the pot up to a boil. Once it starts boiling, lower the heat to medium-low, cover with a lid, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Once the soup is done, serve in a bowl with your favorite toppings.
