Prepare Ingredients: Gather all necessary ingredients, including ground beef, beans, tomatoes, corn, and seasonings.
Brown the Meat: In a large pot, heat a bit of oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until it's browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon.

Simmer the Soup: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 20–30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Adjust Seasoning: After simmering, taste the soup and adjust seasoning as needed. Add salt, pepper, or additional spices to your preference.
Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the taco soup into bowls and serve hot. Top with your favorite toppings such as cheese, sour cream, or avocado.
