Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef or turkey
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 orange bell pepper diced
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 2 cups corn fresh or frozen
  • 1 15 oz can low-sodium pinto beans, drained
  • 1 15 oz can low-sodium black beans, drained
  • 1 15 oz can low-sodium kidney beans, drained
  • 4 cups diced tomatoes or 2 15 oz cans
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1-2 tablespoons Ranch seasoning optional
Optional Toppings:
  • Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • Grated cheddar cheese
  • Chopped green onions

Method
 

Cook the Meat:
  1. Heat a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef or turkey and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces (about 5 minutes). Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Add Vegetables and Beans:
  1. Stir in the diced onion, orange and red bell peppers, and corn. Add the pinto beans, black beans, kidney beans, and diced tomatoes. Mix until everything is well combined.
Season the Soup:
  1. Sprinkle in the chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, pepper, and Ranch seasoning if using. Stir well to coat the vegetables and beans evenly with the spices.
Simmer:
  1. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve:
  1. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings like Greek yogurt, grated cheddar cheese, or chopped green onions. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Make It Your Own: Feel free to swap in ground chicken or plant-based protein for a different twist.

  • Freeze It: This soup freezes well! Cool completely and store in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
