Steps
Step 1
Set a pot on medium high heat. Once hot, add oil, onions and garlic. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes to caramelize the onions.
Step 2
Add ground meat and chop it up in the skillet as it cooks. Sprinkle in chili powder, paprika, oregano and cayenne. Continue cooking for another 2 minutes – the meat and onions should be fiery red and very fragrant.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to medium, then add in the remaining ingredients and stir. IF NEEDED, you can add in water if desired – add 1/4 cup of water until you reach your desired level of thickness.
Step 4
Bring the soup to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cover and cook for 25 – 30 minutes.
Step 5
Season to taste with sea salt & pepper and enjoy! Garnish each individual serving and remember to account for the macros if so.
