Equipment

  • large pot
  • Wooden Spoon
  • can opener
  • knife
  • cutting board

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 15 ounces black beans drained and rinsed
  • 15 ounces corn drained
  • 10 ounces diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 10 ounces red enchilada sauce
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: shredded cheese tortilla strips, chopped cilantro

Instructions

  • In a large pot over medium heat, cook the ground beef and onion until beef is browned and onion is soft. Drain excess fat.
  • Add garlic and cook 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Stir in black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, enchilada sauce, beef broth, chili powder, and cumin.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • Serve hot with optional toppings like shredded cheese, tortilla strips, or cilantro.

Notes

  • Not a fan of beef? Ground turkey or ground chicken would also work in this soup.
  • You can also omit the beef and add extra beans.
  • Make it creamy by adding a splash of heavy cream.
  • I used 2 cups as my serving size for the nutritional information.
