- 2 cans 10 ounces each fire-roasted diced tomatoes
- 3 cups beef broth
Instructions
- Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 1/4 pounds of lean ground beef and break it into small pieces. Brown the beef for 5-7 minutes and drain any excess fat.
- Add the seasonings: 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 3/4 teaspoon ground paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano. Optionally, add 1 1/2 tablespoons dry ranch dressing mix.
- Add the following ingredients: 2 cans (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, 1 can (14 ounces) low-sodium beef broth, 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce, 1 1/2 cups frozen corn, 1 can (14.5 ounces) black beans, and 1 can (14.5 ounces) pinto beans.
- Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and let simmer for 15 minutes. Stir occasionally.
- For thicker soup, mash some beans or simmer uncovered to reduce the liquid. Let it sit after cooking for a richer flavor.
