# What You'll Need:

01 - 450 g lean ground beef
02 - 960 ml chicken broth
03 - 2 x 284 g cans diced tomatoes with green chilies, including juices
04 - 400 g can black beans, drained and rinsed
05 - 340 g can sweet corn, drained
06 - 65 g red bell pepper, chopped

→ Seasonings

07 - 8 g chili powder
08 - 5 g garlic powder
09 - 5 g onion powder
10 - 5 g ground cumin
11 - 5 g smoked paprika
12 - Salt, to taste
13 - Black pepper, to taste

→ Creamy Element

14 - 225 g cream cheese, softened

→ Suggested Toppings (Optional)

15 - Freshly grated cheddar cheese
16 - Sliced avocado
17 - Fresh cilantro leaves
18 - Crispy tortilla strips

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Heat a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, for about 10 minutes until evenly browned. Remove excess fat if necessary.
02 - Add chicken broth, diced tomatoes with green chilies and their juices, black beans, corn, red bell pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and smoked paprika to the pot with the browned beef. Reserve the cream cheese, salt, and pepper.
03 - Increase heat to high and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer, uncovered, for 8 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare any desired toppings.
04 - Cut the softened cream cheese into small pieces. Add to the soup and stir frequently until it is completely melted and incorporated, resulting in a smooth, creamy consistency.
05 - Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as desired. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with cheddar cheese, avocado, cilantro, and tortilla strips if desired. Serve immediately.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Ensure the cream cheese is very soft for easier incorporation; microwave in short intervals if needed.
02 - Substitute beef broth for chicken broth for a richer flavor and darker color.
03 - Adjust spice level by adding up to 2 g cayenne pepper if desired.
04 - If unavailable, regular diced tomatoes can replace Rotel, but add extra green chilies for optimal flavor.
