Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef or turkey
  • 1 onion diced
  • 1 bell pepper diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 can 14.5 oz diced tomatoes, no sugar added
  • 1 can 4 oz diced green chilies
  • 1 cup chicken or beef broth low-sodium
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Large Pot or Dutch Oven
  • Wooden Spoon or Spatula
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Measuring spoons and cups
  • Ladle
  • Can Opener

Method
 

  1. Cook the Meat: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add your ground beef (or turkey) and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it’s browned and fully cooked through (about 6-8 minutes). Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic to the pot with the cooked meat. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
  3. Add the Spices: Stir in the ground cumin, chili powder, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix everything well, allowing the spices to bloom and coat the meat and vegetables evenly.
  4. Add the Tomatoes and Broth: Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juice) and green chilies, followed by the chicken or beef broth. Stir everything together, making sure all the ingredients are combined.
  5. Simmer: Bring the soup to a simmer, and let it cook for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the soup to thicken slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and add your favorite toppings, like sour cream, shredded cheese, sliced avocado, or cilantro. A squeeze of lime juice also adds a nice touch.

Notes

I cooked this soup on a chilly afternoon, and it was exactly what I needed to warm up. The spice level was just right, and the toppings added a fresh, creamy touch. This recipe is easily customizable – feel free to add more veggies, use a different protein, or adjust the seasonings to fit your preferences.
