Method

  1. Sauté the ground beef in a large pot until browned and crispy.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Beef is browned and crumbly. Break up the meat while it cooks.

  2. Add the cubed potatoes, sliced carrots, diced bell peppers, corn, beans, and tomatoes to the pot and stir to combine.

  3. Add bay leaves to the pot.

  4. Pour canned tomatoes into the pot (if using fresh tomatoes, add them now).

  5. Season with chili powder and paprika, then cover and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Vegetables soften in the simmering soup. Stir occasionally so the base does not catch.

  6. Just before serving, sprinkle grated cheddar cheese over the surface of the soup.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Cheddar softens over the hot soup. Add just before ladling.

  7. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the cheese‑topped soup.

  8. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot.
