1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon table salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon oregano
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Soup

1 Tablespoon cooking oil I use avocado
1 medium onion diced (about 1 cup/200g)
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 lb ground beef 453g
Spice blend from above
1 ½ Tablespoons tomato paste
2 15- oz cans fire roasted diced tomatoes undrained (2 425g cans)
1 15- oz can black beans drained and rinsed (425g)
1 15- oz can pinto beans drained and rinsed (425g)
1 11- oz can Mexican style corn drained (or 1 heaping cup frozen corn) (311g)
7 oz diced green chiles undrained (198g)
3 cups beef broth 710ml

Instructions

Measure out spices and whisk together. Set aside.
In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat.
Once oil is shimmering, add onion and cook until softened (about 5 minutes).
Add garlic and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
Add beef and cook, crumbling, until mostly browned. If needed, drain excess grease from the pot.
Sprinkle the spice blend over the meat and add tomato paste. Stir until the spices are well incorporated/absorbed and the tomato paste is deepened in color (about 60 seconds).
Add all remaining ingredients (tomatoes, beans, corn, chiles, and beef broth) and stir well.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes before serving with favorite toppings (we like crushed corn chips, sour cream, cilantro, avocado, etc.).
