How to Make Beef Taco Soup

  1. Brown 1 lb of ground beef and 1 medium chopped onion in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until the meat is browned and the onions are tender. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans (rinsed and drained), 1 (15 ounce) can corn (drained), 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies (Rotel), 4 cups beef broth, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup masa harina and 1 1/4 cup water until smooth.
  5. Gradually whisk the masa harina mixture into the soup, stirring constantly.
  6. Continue to cook and stir the soup until it has slightly thickened, about 5-10 minutes.
  7. To serve, place a small handful of crushed taco chips in each bowl. Ladle the soup over the chips, top with shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite Mexican blend), and a dollop of sour cream.
