Heat oil in a Dutch oven pan, add the ground beef and cook until browned. Break the meat into small pieces while cooking.
Add the onion to the beef.
Once the beef is browned and the onion is translucent, add the garlic and jalapeno. Stir for a few minutes.
Then, add the tomatoes, taco seasoning, black beans, chicken broth, corn, pinto beans, and green chiles. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat, add salt and pepper, and cook for another half an hour.

Notes
The consistency — Adding more beans and vegetables means that your taco soup will have a much thicker consistency. If you prefer a thinner, softer soup, feel free to decrease that amount.
The beans — Don’t get distracted and let the beans overcook. Overcooking the beans will result in a loss of both flavor and nutrition.
