Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground beef (or ground turkey for lighter option)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 oz) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 oz) can corn, drained
  • 1 (15 oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 (10 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chilies (like Rotel)
  • 4 cups gluten-free beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Optional toppings: shredded cheddar, chopped cilantro, avocado slices, gluten-free tortilla chips

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in large pot over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess fat.
  2. Add diced onion and sauté until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more, stirring constantly.
  3. Stir in potatoes, black beans, pinto beans, corn, diced tomatoes, tomatoes with green chilies, and beef broth. Mix well to combine.
  4. Season with smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir to distribute spices evenly.
  5. Bring mixture to boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender and soup has thickened slightly.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add cayenne or jalapeños for extra heat if desired.
  7. Serve hot with favorite toppings like shredded cheese, cilantro, avocado, or gluten-free tortilla chips for crunch.

Notes

  • Use Yukon gold or red potatoes for best texture and shape retention. Fire-roasted tomatoes add smoky depth.
  • For lighter broth, replace part of beef broth with tomato juice or water. Add liquid smoke or chipotle in adobo for smokiness.
  • Ground turkey substitutes for beef. Ensure all canned products are certified gluten-free.
  • Freezes beautifully for up to 3 months in freezer-safe containers.
