Stovetop Taco Soup
  1. Brown the ground chuck with taco seasoning in a 6-quart Dutch oven, breaking up the meat. Add diced onions and minced garlic, sautéing until glossy and lightly browned, then remove excess fat.
  2. Stir in fire-roasted tomatoes, beef stock, and green chiles; bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add black beans and corn, cover, and simmer for another 10 minutes on medium-low heat, stirring once, then taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  4. Turn off the heat, stir in the shredded cheese and cilantro, then serve the soup with your favorite toppings.
