How to Make Smoky Cowboy Soup
- In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, draining any excess fat.
- Stir in finely diced onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add diced potatoes, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir to coat the potatoes in spices.
- Add the broth, diced tomatoes with green chiles, canned corn, black beans, and pinto beans. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes.
- Lower heat and stir in heavy cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and cream cheese (if using) until melted and creamy.
- Adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper as desired.
- Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing with fresh cilantro or parsley.
