The achievement seems to track kills across multiple playthroughs. You should get this simply by playing through a single campaign. Possibly 2 depending on the difficulty you have chosen.
It's also possible to grind the 500 kills in a single mission (although you will experience some significant lag as the body count increases).
One of the dark events you'll experience is a UFO that moves across the globe hunting the Avenger. By letting it attack the ship you'll be forced into a mission that requires you to destroy a relay while defending the Avenger's hanger doors. The benefit of doing the grind in this mission rather than a blacksite is some of your reserve troops will be deployed as well over time.
Focus on killing all the enemies on the map including those guarding the relay. The Advent will start sending in reinforcements every turn. Simply move your troops to the landing zone and go into overwatch. Rinse and repeat.

It does actually say in the description it can span multiple playthroughs

Does it? All I'm able to see in the description is "Killed 500 enemies". Doesn't mention anything about multiple playthroughs.

This trophy should come naturally. Each mission has a random number of aliens but I found most missions have somewhere between 8 and 15 (some have a lot more) and you will need to play through dozens of missions in each playthrough. I received this trophy on my first playthrough but it works across multiple campaigns so don't panic if it doesn’t pop before you reach the final mission.

it is the aliens that the Advent soldiers do not count...

update: after the first playthrough, the statistics showed 800+ kills, but I didn’t get the trophy, I thought that only aliens were counted, it turns out that’s not the case or the trophy is buggy, on the 2nd playthrough in the 1st mission I killed an Advent spearman, the trophy dropped... it’s not clear how it’s counted

If this is the last achievement you have left (like me), then the easiest way to farm is at the Shen factory, on the first level. We don’t send a squad on the elevator, but farm robots that come out every turn. It's long, but it's the easiest way. There is also a mission where we defend ourselves from a UFO attack on the Avenger, there are also endless reinforcements.
