Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 1 oz package taco seasoning
  • 1 oz package Ranch seasoning mix
  • 15 oz can pinto beans undrained
  • 15 oz can kidney beans undrained
  • 15 oz can whole kernel corn undrained
  • 15 oz can diced tomatoes undrained
  • 4 cups beef broth

Equipment

  • 1 Large Pot or Dutch Oven

Method
 

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef and chopped onion over medium-high heat until the meat is browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Stir in the taco seasoning and Ranch seasoning mix. Cook for one more minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the undrained pinto beans, kidney beans, corn, and diced tomatoes to the pot. Pour in the beef broth and stir to combine.
  4. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for at least 20 minutes.
  5. Serve hot with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, and tortilla strips.

Notes

For a creamier soup, stir in 4 oz of softened cream cheese during the last 10 minutes of simmering.
This soup can also be made in a slow cooker. Brown the beef first, then add all ingredients to the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
