- 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes (with juice)
- 1 (15-ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 cup diced potatoes (peeled or unpeeled)

- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half

Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
- Add diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion becomes translucent.
- Stir in beef broth, diced tomatoes, corn, black beans, diced potatoes, smoked paprika, chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat, cover, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
- Stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheese, allowing everything to melt together while heating through. Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and top with sliced green onions, additional shredded cheese, and crushed tortilla chips for an excellent crunch.
Notes
For extra depth of flavor, consider browning the beef with a bit of Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce. Use frozen diced potatoes or pre-cooked beef for a quicker option.
