Ingredients

Scale

Proteins and Base

  • 1 lb ground beef or turkey
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup corn (fresh or canned, rinsed and drained)
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and chopped (adjust to taste)

Liquids and Seasoning

  • 4 cups beef or vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. Brown the Meat and Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot over medium heat, cook the ground beef or turkey until browned and crumbly. Drain excess fat, then add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is soft and fragrant.
  2. Add Seasonings and Vegetables: Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the meat and onions, stirring well to coat evenly. Add the diced tomatoes, black beans, corn, and chopped jalapeño. Mix all ingredients thoroughly.
  3. Pour in the Broth and Simmer: Pour the beef or vegetable broth into the pot and stir to combine. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer gently for 15 to 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. Finish with Fresh Herb and Lime: Remove the soup from heat. Stir in fresh chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for a bright, fresh finish. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh or homemade taco seasoning for more vibrant flavor.
  • Drain excess fat from cooked meat to keep the soup rich but not greasy.
  • Prep ingredients ahead of time to speed up cooking on busy days.
  • Simmer gently to fully infuse spices without toughening the meat.
  • To thicken the soup, mash some beans or add a bit of cornmeal dissolved in water.
