Set aside.Step 2Make the soup: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle with a little salt, reduce the heat to medium-low, stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.Step 3Increase the heat to medium, add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, and brown until all the pink is gone, about 5 minutes. Season with salt (about 1 teaspoon) and black pepper. Add the jalape\u00f1o and the taco seasoning and stir for 1 minute. Push the meat to the sides of the pan, making a little space in the center, and add the tomato paste. Cook to deepen its color, about 1 minute, then stir everything together.Step 4Add the green chiles and their liquid, and the pinto and black beans. Season with salt (about 2 teaspoons). Stir in the tomatoes and their juices, and the broth. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Reduce to medium-low and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until the flavors have melded, about 20 minutes.Step 5Taste for seasoning, adding salt, pepper and chili powder, if desired. Stir in the frozen corn and cilantro. Cover and simmer until the corn has heated through, about 10 minutes. Serve with toppings of choice. Thin out with stock or water when reheating, if necessary.TipIf your fire-roasted tomatoes include green chiles, omit the 2 cans of green chiles.Private NotesLeave a Private Comment on this recipe and see it here.5 out of 53,155 user ratingsYour rating1 star2 stars3 stars4 stars5 starsSubmitLog in or sign up to rate this recipe.Have you cooked this?Mark as CookedLog in or sign up to mark this recipe as cooked.Add CommentPublicPrivateSubmitAll Comments (259)Most Helpful (65)PrivateLast January this was one of the first things I made in my new apartment after moving out of my ex-husband's house. At first I was depressed by the quantity - I wasn't used to not having someone else around to eat leftovers. But I froze it in portions and at it for 3 months, and will be forever grateful for the nourishment one recipe gave me during one of the hardest periods of my life. I just made it for the second time, and it tastes like self determination and new starts.Is this helpful?here's my recipe for \"you'd swear it was from the old el paso packet but it's not\" taco seasoning, if anyone would like it.\n1T masa*\n3t chili powder (i like spice classics brand)\n3t cumin\n1t (heaping) paprika\n1t onion powder\n1t (scant) garlic powder\n1t salt (using diamond crystal kosher)\n1\/4t cayenne\n1\/4t oregano\nuse in this recipe, or w 1-1.5lbs ground beef & 2\/3c water for the classic taco preparation. \n*if you don't have masa, use 2t cornstarch. you'll need a bit more water this way.Is this helpful?I have a friend who adds a packet of powdered ranch dressing, along w the taco seasoning packet, to add more depth of flavor.\nIf making your own, measure out an ounce from your mix:\n \n\u00bc cup buttermilk powder (coconut cream powder for vegetarian\/vegan\n1\u00bd tablespoons onion powder\n\u00bd tablespoon dried chives\n\u00bd tablespoon dried parsley\n\u00bd tablespoon dried dill\n\u00bd tablespoon garlic powder\n2 teaspoons kosher saltIs this helpful?I feel like two diced potatoes added early so they cook through and absorb the liquid would be good in this, maybe in lieu of the second can of beans, depending on how many you're cooking for.Is this helpful?Does anyone know how many cups or ounces a serving size is? I can\u2019t find that anywhere other than that the recipe is six servings.Is this helpful?I have made it to the letter and also vegetarian, with double the beans. When I did the latter I added nutritional yeast and a bit of tamari for umami. Also the extra beans wanted increased salt. I have also made it the beany, meat free way but not vegetarian as I used fish sauce. That version was really nice. I love breaking up corn chips on top of this for serving along with all the usual toppings. Such a family friendly fan favorite recipe. I love the large quantity. Feels like real life with kids in sports etc.Is this helpful?Private comments are only visible to you.Show more commentsRecipe TagsBlack BeanChili PowderCornDinnerEasyGreat LeftoversGround BeefGround ChickenGround CuminGround PorkGround TurkeyJalape\u00f1oMain CourseOne PotPinto BeanSoupStovetopAdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTLog in or sign up to save this recipe.",
