In a large soup pot, add onions and garlic with a tablespoon or two of water to keep them from sticking. Stir for a few minutes until soft and translucent.
Add jalapeño and stir for another few minutes.
Add the tomatoes, broth, and tomato paste and stir well.
Next, add the beans, corn, cumin, chili powder, paprika, oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together, cover, and leave simmering until liquid has reduced, stirring occasionally; about 10-15 minutes.
Turn your crockpot on to high heat. Place all ingredients in the crock pot. Stir everything together, cover, and leave on high for 2-3 hours or low for 4-8 hours or until heated through and the liquid has reduced.
