Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Start by dicing the onions into ½-inch pieces and setting them aside. Peel and chop the potatoes into 1-inch chunks for even cooking.
- In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast cumin seeds until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Allow to cool slightly then grind. Combine with garlic powder, oregano, and black pepper in a small bowl.
- In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, cooking for 5-7 minutes until fully browned.
- Once the beef is browned, toss in the diced onions. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, until they are translucent and tender.
- Char the poblano peppers over an open flame until their skin is blackened, about 10-15 minutes. Place in a plastic bag to steam, then peel, seed, and chop.
- Add the chopped potatoes, beef broth, and canned diced tomatoes to the pot. Season with salt to taste and bring to a gentle boil.
- Reduce heat to low, partially cover, and let simmer for 25-30 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- In the final 5 minutes, add the torn tortilla strips to help thicken the soup. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and top with Greek yogurt, cotija cheese, cilantro, and tortilla chips. Enjoy!
