  • 1 lb ground hamburger (or venison, ground turkey)
  • 1/2 medium onion, diced finely
  • 1 package taco seasoning mix
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 (15 oz) can corn, drained
  • 1 (15 oz) can kidney beans, drained
  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained
  • 1 (15 oz) can pinto beans, drained
  • 1 (10 oz) can Rotel tomatoes with chilies, undrained
  • 1 (15 oz) can diced petite tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup jarred salsa
  • 1 cup beef broth

Instructions

  1. Brown and Sauté: In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Add the onions and bell peppers; sauté until slightly softened.
  2. Add Remaining Ingredients: Stir in the taco seasoning mix, corn, kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, Rotel tomatoes, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, salsa, and beef broth. Bring to a simmer.
  3. Simmer: Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add more beef broth if needed to reach desired consistency.
  4. Serve: Ladle into bowls and top with your favorite taco toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, and avocado. Serve with tortilla chips or crusty bread

Notes

  • This soup thickens as it simmers, so add more broth as needed.
  • For a spicier soup, use hot Rotel tomatoes or add a diced jalapeño pepper.
  • Feel free to customize the beans and vegetables to your preference.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
