Taco Soup
Description
This Taco Soup begins by sautéing ground beef with onions and red bell pepper in olive oil until browned and softened. Taco seasoning is incorporated to add typical southwestern spices, followed by diced tomatoes with juices, tomato sauce, drained diced green chiles, beef broth, black and pinto beans, and frozen corn. The ingredients simmer together for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the soup to thicken slightly. The result is a robust, filling soup combining meaty, spicy, and fresh vegetable elements. Toppings such as cilantro, tortilla strips, sour cream, avocado, and cheese are served separately to customize each bowl.
This soup suits a chilly day and can be made ahead or reheated with flavors intensifying over time.
