Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef or ground turkey

1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed

1 can (15 oz) corn, drained

1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies

1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes

1 packet taco seasoning (about 1 oz)

2 cups beef or vegetable broth

1 cup water

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped cilantro, diced avocado, or crispy tortilla chips

Instructions
 

Cook the Protein: In a large pot, heat over medium heat, add the ground beef or ground turkey. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking the meat apart with a spatula until it’s nicely browned. If there’s excess fat in the pot, drain it to keep the soup from becoming greasy.

    Soften the Aromatics: Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot with the cooked meat. Sauté them together for about 3-4 minutes, or until the onion becomes soft and translucent.

      Combine the Ingredients: Pour in the black beans, kidney beans, corn, diced tomatoes with green chilies, diced tomatoes, taco seasoning, broth, and water. Stir everything together until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.

        Simmer: Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes. This helps the flavors blend beautifully. Remember to stir occasionally to prevent sticking to the bottom.

          Taste and Adjust: After simmering, taste your soup for seasoning. Add salt and pepper to suit your preference. If you like it spicier, feel free to kick it up a notch with a pinch of cayenne pepper or some diced jalapeños.

            Serve: Once you’re satisfied with the seasoning, ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, freshly chopped cilantro, diced avocado, or crispy tortilla chips for an added crunch.

              Enjoy your Quick and Easy Taco Soup! This dish is perfect for busy nights when you're craving a hearty meal with minimal effort, yet bursting with flavor.
