Cooking Instructions
Step 1: Brown the Beef
Begin your culinary journey by browning the ground beef. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Make sure to drain any excess fat to keep the soup from becoming greasy.
Step 2: Sauté the Aromatics
Next, add the diced onion, minced garlic, and jalapeño. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until they soften and release fragrant aromas.
Step 3: Spice It Up
Stir in the cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Toast the spices for an additional minute to release their essential oils.
Step 4: Build the Body
Now it's time to add the beans, corn, diced tomatoes, and broth. Bring this mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes to meld the flavors together.
Step 5: Creamy Finish
In a small bowl, combine the flour, whole milk, and heavy cream. Whisk until smooth. Gradually add this mixture to the pot, stirring to combine. Finally, toss in the shredded pepper jack and sharp cheddar cheeses. Stir until melted and creamy for a winning combination of textures!
