Ingredients

For the Soup:

  • Olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 lb Italian sausage
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 (10 oz) can Rotel tomatoes with green chiles
  • 1 can ranch-style beans
  • 1 cup sweet corn (frozen or canned)
  • 1 cup green beans (frozen or canned)
  • 3 russet potatoes, diced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • Fresh parsley (optional garnish)

Instructions

  • Cook the Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onions, carrots, and celery, and cook for 10 minutes until softened.
  • Cook the Meat: Add ground beef and Italian sausage to the pot. Break the meat apart and cook until browned, then drain any excess grease.
  • Add Spices: Stir in garlic powder, cumin, oregano, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to release the spices’ flavors.
  • Combine Ingredients: Add diced tomatoes, Rotel, ranch-style beans, sweet corn, green beans, tomato paste, and diced potatoes. Pour in beef broth and stir to combine.
  • Simmer: Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 35-40 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are tender.
  • Serve: Garnish with parsley and serve hot with crusty bread or tortilla chips

Notes

  • Swap ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version of the soup.
  • Add extra vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for more flavor and texture.
  • For additional heat, increase chili powder or add diced jalapeños.
