Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (10 ounce) can Rotel (diced tomatoes and green chilies), undrained
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground beef in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, Rotel, corn, and beef broth. Stir to combine all ingredients.
  5. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
  6. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the heavy cream until the soup is creamy.
  7. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Serve hot, topped with shredded cheddar cheese if desired.

Notes

  • For a slow cooker version, brown the beef and sauté the onion separately, then combine all ingredients except the cream in the slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. Stir in the cream before serving.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, mash about 1/4 cup of the beans against the side of the pot before adding the cream.
  • Add a dash of liquid smoke if you want a stronger smoky flavor without extra paprika.
