For a vegetarian version, substitute the ground beef with 1-2 cups of cooked lentils or crumbled plant-based ground. To add more vegetables, consider including diced bell peppers, zucchini, or carrots along with the onions. For a spicier soup, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of your favorite hot sauce. This soup tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to meld together. It's perfect for meal prepping! Adjust the amount of taco seasoning to your preference. Some packets can be quite salty, so start with less and add more if needed.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
7 mins
In a large, heavy-bottomed soup pot or Dutch oven, heat over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and crumbly (5-7 minutes). Drain off any excess grease.
02
Step
7 mins
Add the minced onion and garlic to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions become translucent and softened (about 5 minutes). Stir in the taco seasoning and cook until fragrant (1-2 minutes).
03
Step
3 mins
Stir in the black beans, Mexican-style corn, and diced tomatoes with green chiles. Pour in the tomato juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot to deglaze. This adds depth of flavor to the soup.
04
Step
20 mins
Bring the soup to a simmer. Add the chopped cilantro and squeeze in the juice from both lime halves. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 15-20 minutes, or longer for a richer flavor. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
05
Step
2 mins
Serve hot, garnished with additional cilantro and your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream or Greek yogurt, diced avocado, and crushed tortilla chips. A squeeze of fresh lime juice adds a final touch of brightness.
