Preparation
  1. In a large pot over medium heat, cook 1 pound of ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Add 1 diced onion and 2 minced garlic cloves to the pot. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1 can of black beans (drained and rinsed), 1 can of corn (drained), and 1 can of diced tomatoes (with their juices).
  4. Sprinkle in 1 packet of taco seasoning and mix well. Let it cook for another 2 minutes to heat everything through.
  5. Lower the heat and pour in 1 cup of heavy cream. Stir well to incorporate. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
  6. Gradually add in 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, stirring continuously until it's perfectly melted and creamy.
  7. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
  8. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with tortilla chips on top. Enjoy your creamy, cheesy creation!

Notes

Substitute ground chicken or turkey for a leaner option. Avoid boiling after adding cream to maintain creaminess. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
