Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a 5-6 quart slow cooker, combine the cooked ground beef, chopped onion, diced green bell pepper, minced garlic, jalapeño, canned corn, black beans, petite diced tomatoes, chili powder, salt, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Pour in the chicken or beef broth, ensuring all ingredients are well mixed.
  2. Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours.
  3. Once the cooking time is complete, stir in the rich cheddar cheese. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and all-purpose flour until smooth, then gently incorporate this mixture into the soup.
