Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 0.5 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1.5 pounds ground beef
  • 1 small yellow onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 package taco seasoning
  • 0.5 cup green pepper diced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1.5 cups frozen corn
  • 1 can black beans drained and rinsed

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a large soup pan drizzle the olive oil and brown the ground beef until no pink remains along with the diced onions. Drain off any excess fat.
  2. Add the garlic and taco seasoning and stir for one minute.
  3. Add the rest of the ingredients to the soup pot and bring to a boil. Depending on how thick you like your soup you can add 1 cup of water to the tomato juice can, rinse it out and dump it in the soup or measure out 1 cup of water and add to soup.
  4. Once it comes to a boil reduce heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes.
  5. Serve with your favorite toppings.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding a dash of hot sauce or a squeeze of lime juice before serving. Garnish with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, or crushed tortilla chips.
