Recipe type: Soup
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4-6 servings
Ingredients
  • 4 Tbsp. chili powder
  • 3 Tbsp. cumin
  • 1 Tbsp. paprika
  • 1 Tbsp. onion powder
  • 1 Tbsp. garlic powder
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • 2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1.5 lbs. ground beef
  • 1 red onion, diced
  • 1 poblano pepper, seeded and diced
  • 1 orange bell pepper, seeded and diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz. canned diced green chiles, (I like medium spiciness)
  • 2- 14 oz. cans fire roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1 quart low/no sodium chicken bone broth/ stock
  • 1 lime, zested
  • Topping options: diced avocado, sliced jalapeños, diced red onions, fresh cilantro, lime wedges, sliced black olives, and plantain chips, (Terra plantain chips are compliant).
Instructions
  1. Mix the first 8 spice ingredients in a medium bowl. This is your spice rub, and you'll sprinkle a little of it on each step throughout the recipe until you use it all.
  2. In a large, heavy soup pot over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef with some of the seasoning mixture until cooked through and no longer pink.
  3. Add the diced onions and peppers, season with a little seasoning mix, and stir. let cook for about 5 minutes.
  4. Add in the minced garlic, stir, and let cook 30 more seconds.
  5. Pour in the canned green chiles and diced tomatoes. Give it a stir.
  6. Pour in the chicken broth, and add the rest of the seasoning mixture. Add the zest of one lime, stir.
  7. Let the soup come to a boil, and then reduce the heat to medium-low to simmer. Allow it to simmer at least 5 minutes, but you could let it go for longer if you want- the flavor will just get better!
  8. Check for seasoning, squeeze in the juice of the lime you zested, and then ladle into bowls.
  9. Top with anything you like! I recommend: avocado, sliced jalapeños, diced red onions, cilantro, lime wedges, black olives, and plantain chips.
