Crazy-Easy Cowboy Soup
This Crazy-Easy Cowboy Soup is a hearty one-pot mix of ground beef, beans, and potatoes in a savory Tex-Mex broth. Make it on the stovetop in under 45 minutes, or let it go low and slow in the slow cooker.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 onion small diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 6 cups beef broth
- 1 can kidney beans rinsed and drained
- 1 28 oz can diced tomatoes
- 1 can chopped tomatoes with green chilies such as Rotel
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
- 2 cups diced potatoes about 3 medium potatoes
- 1 cup corn
Instructions
- In a large soup pot over medium heat, add the olive oil and ground beef and cook until almost browned, crumbling into pieces as it cooks, about 5-6 minutes.
- Add the onion, garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, paprika, salt and pepper and cook an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the onion is translucent.
- Add the broth, kidney beans, diced tomatoes, canned tomatoes with green chilies (such as Rotel), frozen mixed vegetables, diced potatoes and corn, and stir to combine.
- Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Serve warm with some crusty bread, if desired.
Notes
Slow cooker option: Brown the ground beef with the onion and garlic in a skillet first, then transfer it along with all remaining ingredients to a slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
