How to Make Awesome Beef Or Chicken Taco Soup

  1. Brown 1 lb ground beef (or 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces) in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add 1 large onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1 tbsp chili powder, 1 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp oregano, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional), and 1/2 tsp salt. Cook for 1 minute more.
  4. Pour in 4 cups beef broth (or chicken broth), 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained, 1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained, 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained, and 1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies (like Rotel), undrained.
  5. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through (if using).
  6. Stir in 1 cup frozen corn during the last 5 minutes of simmering.
  7. Serve hot, topped with your favorite taco toppings such as shredded cheese, crushed tortilla chips, sour cream, avocado, and chopped cilantro. Cornbread is a delicious side!
