This hearty beef chili soup with beans is packed with flavor and is delicious with rice and topped with cheese, sour cream, and tortilla chips.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound rump roast, cut into small cubes
2 onions, chopped
4 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 bay leaves
3 1/2 cups beef stock
1/2 (10 ounce) can enchilada sauce
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chile peppers
3 ounces tomato paste
2 (15 ounce) cans pinto beans, drained

Directions

1 Heat oil in a large pot over high heat. Sauté meat until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Add onions and garlic. Continue to sauté until onions are soft, 4 to 5 minutes.
2 Add chili powder, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, and bay leaves to pot. Cook and stir until meat and vegetables are coated in seasonings, about 2 minutes. Add stock, enchilada sauce, green chile peppers, and tomato paste. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover pot, and simmer until meat is tender, about 50 minutes.
3 Stir beans into soup, mashing beans to thicken if desired. Simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes.
