How to Make Mexican Vegetable Beef Soup

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roast one large poblano pepper, 1 red bell pepper, until slightly charred (about 20 minutes). Place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let steam for 10 minutes. Peel, seed, and dice the peppers.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1 large chopped onion and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
  3. Add the diced poblano and red peppers to the pot and sauté for another 3 minutes.
  4. Add 6 cups beef broth, 2 cups water, 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 beef bouillon cube, 1/4 teaspoon chili powder, and 2 teaspoons mirin. Stir to combine.
  5. Stir in 5 ounces chopped mustard greens, 1 pound beef steak (cubed), 1 (15 ounce) can black beans (rinsed and drained), 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies, and 1 cup frozen or fresh corn.
  6. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the beef is tender and the greens are wilted.
  7. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with chopped cilantro or avocado before serving (optional).
