Preparation
  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it apart until evenly cooked. Drain excess grease.
  2. Lower the heat to medium, and add the diced onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the onion softens.
  3. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until aromatic.
  4. Sprinkle chili powder, ground cumin, and smoked paprika over the mixture, stirring for about 1 minute to toast the spices.
  5. Pour in the beef broth and add diced tomatoes (with juice), tomatoes with green chilies, diced potatoes, and drained black beans. Mix thoroughly.
  6. Bring the soup to a boil; then reduce heat, cover, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes until the potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally.
  7. Stir in drained corn and cream. Gently heat through without allowing it to boil.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer uncovered for another 5 minutes.
  9. Serve in bowls, garnished with shredded cheddar cheese.
