Ingredients
  

For the Soup Base
  • 1 lb Ground Beef or turkey or meat alternative.
  • 1 large Onion yellow or white for best flavor.
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced.
  • 4 cups Beef Broth or vegetable broth for vegetarian option.
  • 14.5 oz Diced Tomatoes canned with juice.
  • 1 cup Corn canned or frozen.
  • 15 oz Black Beans drained and rinsed if canned.
  • 2 medium Potatoes Yukon Gold or russet, diced small.
For the Spice Blend

  • 1 tbsp Chili Powder adjust for heat preference.
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 1 tsp Salt adjust to taste.
  • 0.5 tsp Black Pepper adjust to taste.

Method
 

Steps
  1. In a large Dutch oven, heat over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook until fully browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
  2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot, stirring for about 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
  3. Stir in the beef broth, diced tomatoes (with juice), corn, black beans, and potato cubes, along with the spices: smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
  4. Bring the soup mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Once the potatoes are tender, stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until cheese melts and soup is creamy.
  6. Ladle the Creamy Cowboy Soup into bowls, garnishing with sliced green onions, extra cheese, or tortilla chips. Serve hot.
