Cook the meat and aromatics:
Add the ground chuck to a 6-quart dutch oven. Turn the stove to medium heat and use a large spoon to break up the meat in the pot. Sprinkle all but 1 1/2 teaspoons of the taco spice blend over the raw meat (save the rest of the spice mixture to add to the soup later, if desired). Brown the meat over medium heat until most of the pink is gone, about 5 minutes.
Add the diced onions and garlic to the pot with the ground meat. Sauté the veggies with the meat until the onions and garlic are glossy and just beginning to brown, about 4 minutes.
Remove from the heat. Use a spoon to remove excess fat from the pan and discard.
Add the tomatoes, beef stock, and chiles:
Stir in the fire-roasted tomatoes, beef stock, and green chiles.
Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the pot. Simmer the soup for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
