Cooking Steps
  1. Brown the beef in a large pot over medium heat until browned and drain excess fat.
  2. Add onion and garlic, cooking until soft and fragrant.
  3. Stir in beef broth, diced tomatoes, corn, black beans, and potatoes.
  4. Season with smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes until potatoes are tender.
  5. Whisk in heavy cream and cheddar cheese until smooth. Cook for another 5 minutes until heated through.
  6. Top with green onions and sprinkle tortilla chips on top before serving.

Notes

Store soup in the fridge for 3-4 days in an airtight container. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth if necessary.
