Description
1. Brown the Beef: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease.
2. Build the Flavor Base: Add onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Simmer the Soup: Add fire-roasted tomatoes, kidney beans, pinto beans, corn, beef broth, and taco seasoning to the pot. Stir well. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for at least 30 minutes.
4. Serve: Ladle soup into bowls and top with desired toppings like cheese, sour cream, avocado, cilantro, and tortilla chips.
