1. In a large saucepan, combine broth, water, corn, oregano, bay leaf, thyme, tomato paste, salt, cayenne pepper and green bell pepper. 2. Bring mixture to a boil, then simmer on low heat for about 30 minutes. 3. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine olive oil, onion, and garlic; saute on low heat for 10 minutes or until onion is transparent and garlic is golden but not brown. 4. Add the ground beef and cook with onion-garlic mixture on medium heat until beef is well-browned, stirring frequently. 5. Add beef-onion mixture to broth-water mixture. 6. Simmer on low for another 20 minutes. 7. Taste for saltiness; add a little more water if necessary. 8. Leftover soup thickens slightly overnight (and tastes great the next day). 9. Thin with a little more water if you wish. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
