  • 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies (10-ounce)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot over medium heat, brown the ground beef, crumbling it as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté them until the onion is soft and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Pour in the beef broth and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the diced tomatoes, corn, black beans, diced potatoes, smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  4. Let your soup simmer for around 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream (or half-and-half) and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well until the cheese has melted and the soup is rich and creamy.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions, extra cheese, and crushed tortilla chips for a delightful crunch.
