Ingredients

2 pounds lean ground beef
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon ancho chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons coarse sea salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried minced onion
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, diced
2 large bell peppers, diced (any color)
1 15-ounce can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1 15-ounce can light red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 15-ounce can whole kernel corn, drained and rinsed
2 4-ounce cans diced green chiles
2 15-ounce cans diced tomatoes, divided
1 1/2 cups broth (beef, vegetable or chicken - you could even use water if you don't have broth)

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, add the ground beef, chili powders, cumin, sea salt, garlic powder, minced onion, paprika and oregano. Mix together until fully combined. Set aside.
Heat a large dutch oven or stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the cooking oil, diced onion and diced bell peppers. Saute for about 5 minutes, until veggies start to soften.
Add the seasoned ground beef and cook, crumbling with the spatula or spoon, for about 10 minutes.
Add the pinto and red kidney beans, corn, green chiles, diced tomatoes and broth. Mix together, cover and cook for 20 minutes.
Uncover and cook for another 20 minutes to reduce some of the liquid. Season with salt to taste.
Serve with your favorite taco garnishes like sour cream, sliced green onions, shredded cheese, cilantro, jalapenos and more!

Notes

To freeze, first, cool the soup down completely by placing it in the fridge. Once chilled, store in freezer-safe zip-top bags or containers and freeze. When ready to eat, let frozen container thaw completely in the fridge or defrost in the microwave. Reheat on the stove or in the microwave until completely warm.
