Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can corn, drained
  • 2 cups cubed potatoes (about 1 large)
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for topping)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground beef in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the diced tomatoes (with juice), black beans, kidney beans, corn, cubed potatoes, and beef broth.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  5. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the heavy cream until fully combined and the broth turns creamy.
  6. Taste the soup and season generously with salt and pepper.
  7. Serve hot. Top each bowl with shredded cheddar cheese if desired. This soup is great with cornbread!

Notes

  • For a **Smoky Cowboy Soup Recipe**, add 1/4 teaspoon of liquid smoke when you add the cream.
  • If you prefer a **Slow Cooker Cowboy Soup**, brown the beef first, then add all ingredients except the cream to the slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. Stir in the cream before serving.
  • To make this a **Gluten Free Cowboy Soup**, confirm all your broth and spice ingredients are certified gluten-free.
