Instructions:
Brown the Beef & Aromatics: Heat a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef and chopped yellow onion.
Cook, breaking up the beef with a wooden spoon, until the meat is browned and the onion is soft (about 6 to 8 minutes). Drain any excess grease if needed.
Sauté the Spices: Add the minced garlic and jalapeño. Cook, stirring constantly, for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
Simmer the Soup: Stir in the fire-roasted tomatoes, taco seasoning, green chiles, chicken broth, pinto beans, black beans, and Libby’s Canned Corn. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce heat to medium-low, partially cover, and simmer for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Taste and season with kosher salt as needed.
Garnish & Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and load it up with sour cream, cheddar cheese, fresh cilantro, and sliced avocado.
