Hearty Ground Beef Taco Soup | Easy One-Pot Dinner Ready in 40 Minutes!

In a Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add diced onions and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Add ground beef and break it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Add homemade taco seasoning (a mild blend of cumin, paprika, chipotle powder, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and a pinch of salt) and stir to coat the meat evenly.

Pour in diced tomatoes (with their juice), tomato paste, beef or chicken broth, and add black beans and corn (fresh, frozen, or canned).

Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until flavors meld together.

Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

Ladle the soup into bowls and set up a topping bar with diced avocado, crumbled queso fresco, sliced scallions, sour cream, and tortilla chips.
