Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 10 ounce cans Ro-tel diced tomatoes & green chilies with juices
  • 1 14 ounce can black beans drained & rinsed
  • 1 12 ounce can corn drained
  • ½ red bell pepper chopped
  • ½ tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Cooking Instructions

  • Add the ground beef to a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Brown it, breaking it up with your spoon as you go along, for about 10 minutes. If there's excess fat, spoon most of it out.
  • Add the remaining ingredients to the pot except for the cream cheese and salt & pepper.
  • Increase the heat to high and bring the soup to a boil. Turn down the heat so it's simmering gently, uncovered, for 8 minutes. While the soup cooks, prep your toppings.
  • Cut the cream cheese into smaller pieces and add it to the soup. Let it melt in (you may have to stir it a fair bit until it's fully dissolved). Season the soup with salt & pepper and serve with toppings as desired.

Notes

For a richer flavor, feel free to add more spices or toppings of your choice.
