Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef (or ground turkey)
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 10 ounces Canned diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g., Rotel)
• 15 ounces Canned corn, drained
• 15 ounces Canned black beans, rinsed and drained
• 15 ounces Canned kidney beans, rinsed and drained
• 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning mix
• 1 tablespoon Ranch dressing seasoning mix
• 4 cups Beef broth (or chicken broth for lighter flavor)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0 Salt (to taste)
• 0 Black pepper (to taste)
• 0 Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped cilantro, sliced jalapeños, tortilla chips

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the pot. Cook and break it apart with a wooden spoon until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease if necessary.

Step 4

Stir in the taco seasoning mix, ranch dressing seasoning mix, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well to coat the cooked meat with the seasonings.

Step 5

Add the canned diced tomatoes with green chilies, corn, black beans, kidney beans, and beef broth to the pot. Stir everything together.

Step 6

Bring the soup to a simmer over medium heat. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed. Add additional salt or pepper if desired.

Step 8

Serve hot in bowls and top with optional toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped cilantro, sliced jalapeños, or crushed tortilla chips for added texture and flavor.
