Tortilla Soup

The formula

Ground beef + tomatoes + corn + spices

What you’ll need

  • Ground beef
  • Onion, diced
  • Garlic, minced
  • Salsa, tomato paste, or diced tomatoes
  • Frozen sweet corn kernels
  • Cream cheese (optional, but next level!)
  • Cheddar cheese
  • Spices & seasonings: oregano, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper

How to make it

  1. Sauté the onion and garlic in a large pot. Cook until softened.
  2. Add the ground beef, oregano, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper. Cook until beef is browned.
  3. Add the salsa, tomato paste, or diced tomatoes. Add enough water to reach the consistency you want, then bring to a simmer.
  4. Stir in the frozen corn, then cook until heated through.
  5. Stir in cream cheese if using, for an optional creamy texture.
  6. Stir in cheddar cheese.

Make it your own

  • Add black beans when you want a heartier soup.
  • Serve with lime juice, fresh cilantro, and/or sour cream on top.
