Instructions

  • Prep the ingredients per the instructions above.
  • Heat the olive oil in a soup pot or Dutch oven. Saute the onions and garlic until the onions are translucent (approximately a minute). Add in the beef and cook while breaking it up into smaller pieces until it is no longer pink.
  • Add the red bell pepper, corn, sweet potato, tomatoes, black beans, enchilada sauce, oregano, cumin, chili powder, salt, black pepper, quinoa, and broth. Stir to combine.
  • Bring it to a boil and then reduce it to medium-low heat. Cover and cook until the quinoa is cooked and the veggies are tender.
  • Make the queso: Mix the ingredients (except for the chips) in a saucepan over low heat. Stir occasionally, until the cheese is melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover with a lid to keep warm.
  • Mix the sparkling water with lime.
  • Top the soup with a squirt of lime, avocado, cheese, and cilantro. Serve with queso and chips and sparkling water.
