Ingredients

  • 1 can corn
  • 1 can black beans
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 1 can chicken broth
  • 1 can condensed vegetable soup
  • 1 pound ground beef or turkey (optional)

Directions

  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until softened and fragrant.
  2. If using ground beef or turkey, add it to the pot and cook until browned. If not using meat, skip this step.

  4. Add corn, black beans, diced tomatoes (with their juice), chicken broth, and condensed vegetable soup to the pot. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
  5. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
