Ingredients

Scale

 

  • 1 pound ground beef (85/15)
  • 1–2 packages taco seasoning (depending on desired spice level)
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 3 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 jalapeño, minced (remove membrane and seeds for less heat)
  • 1 Anaheim pepper, minced
  • 15oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 15oz can diced tomatoes with green chiles
  • 15oz can corn, drained
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • Zest of 1 lime
  • Juice of 1/2 lime (adjust as desired)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
  • 4–8oz cream cheese, softened

Toppings (Optional): sour cream, shredded cheese, fresh cilantro, avocado slices

Instructions

  1. Cook the Ground Beef: Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
  2. Add Aromatics: Stir in the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the onion softens.
  3. Add Peppers and Seasoning: Toss in the minced jalapeño and Anaheim pepper, followed by one package of taco seasoning. Stir to combine and cook for another 2 minutes to release the flavors.
  4. Add the Remaining Ingredients: Pour in the black beans, diced tomatoes with green chiles, corn, chicken broth, lime zest, lime juice, salt, pepper, and oregano. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  5. Adjust Flavor: Taste the soup and add more taco seasoning, lime juice, or salt as needed. Everyone’s taste is different, so feel free to customize.
  6. Incorporate Cream Cheese: Add the softened cream cheese to the soup. Stir on medium heat until the cream cheese is fully melted and integrated, making the soup creamy.
  7. Simmer and Serve: Cover the Dutch oven and let the soup simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Serve hot with your choice of toppings, such as sour cream, shredded cheese, cilantro, and avocado.

Equipment

Notes

  • Spice Levels: If you want more heat, leave the jalapeño seeds in. For a milder soup, use only half a jalapeño or substitute with a milder pepper.
  • Texture Boost: Adding tortilla chips on top adds a delightful crunch to the creamy texture.
  • Dairy-Free Option: For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free cream cheese or simply omit the cream cheese for a more broth-like soup.
