Description

Cowboy Soup is a hearty, 30-minute one-pot dinner that delivers bold, comforting flavors with wholesome ingredients. Ground beef or turkey teams up with carrots, celery, onion, garlic, bell pepper, corn, beans, and tomatoes in a robust broth seasoned with chili powder, smoked paprika, and cumin. This quick, family-friendly recipe cooks in a single pot, freezes well, and provides a satisfying, nutritious meal for busy weeknights and leftovers.
