Ingredients

  • 2 lbs lean ground beef
  • 2 TB olive oil
  • 1 onion diced
  • 6 garlic cloves chopped
  • 2 red bell peppers seeded and diced
  • 2 green bell peppers seeded and diced
  • 29 oz fire-roasted diced tomatoes with juices
  • 32 oz good quality beef broth
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • kosher salt to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Freshly chopped cilantro or parsley, and shredded cheddar cheese (for garnishing)
  • 2 cups cooked rice optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, brown the beef until cooked through. Drain in a colander. Meanwhile, add olive oil and cook onions over medium-high heat, stirring, 2 min.
  2. Add garlic and stir another minute. Add peppers, 1 tsp kosher salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and continue stirring for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the diced tomatoes with juices, broth, cumin, oregano. Bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer 30 minutes. (If you haven't cooked the rice yet, now is a great time to do so.)
  4. Add back the browned beef and stir into the soup just until warmed through. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper as needed.
  5. Ladle soup into individual bowls, with a large scoop of cooked rice, if using. Garnish with cilantro, parsley, or shredded cheese.

  • This soup is extra satisfying over white or perfectly cooked brown rice; be sure your rice is cooked before adding to soup, and only add it at the end, right before serving to prevent broth from turning starchy.
  • Don't cook the rice in soup, or it will absorb much of the liquid.
  • If desired, add 1-2 TB sugar to taste, as it offsets the tang of tomatoes.
