Scale

Soup Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground beef (or ground turkey for a lighter option)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 oz) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 oz) can corn, drained
  • 1 (15 oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 (10 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chilies (like Rotel)
  • 4 cups gluten-free beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Optional Toppings

  • Shredded cheddar cheese
  • Chopped cilantro
  • Avocado slices
  • Gluten-free tortilla chips

Instructions

  1. Brown the Meat: Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain any excess fat to keep the soup lean.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot and sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 2–3 minutes. This adds depth of flavor to the soup base.
  3. Add Vegetables and Liquids: Stir in the cubed potatoes, black beans, pinto beans, corn, diced tomatoes, tomatoes with green chilies, and gluten-free beef broth. Mix everything thoroughly for even distribution of ingredients.
  4. Season the Soup: Add smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir well to incorporate the spices evenly into the soup.
  5. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and let it simmer gently for about 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the soup has thickened slightly. This slow simmer allows flavors to meld perfectly.
  6. Adjust and Serve: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed. For extra heat, add cayenne pepper or jalapeño slices. Serve hot topped with shredded cheddar, chopped cilantro, avocado slices, or gluten-free tortilla chips for added texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Ground turkey can be substituted for ground beef to reduce fat content.
  • Make sure to use gluten-free beef broth and check canned product labels to keep the dish gluten-free.
  • The soup tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld, making it great for leftovers.
  • You can customize spice levels by adding fresh jalapeños or cayenne pepper according to taste.
  • For added creaminess, stir in a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt when serving.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
