Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef (or turkey)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, cook the ground beef (or turkey) until fully browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain any excess fat.
- Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
- Stir in black beans, kidney beans, corn, diced tomatoes, and taco seasoning. Mix well to coat everything in the seasoning.
- Pour in the beef broth, stir, and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 20–25 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- For extra heat, add a diced jalapeño when sautéing the onions.
- This soup freezes well cool completely before transferring to freezer-safe containers.
- Swap the beef for shredded rotisserie chicken for a quicker protein option.
