Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 15-ounce can stewed tomatoes
- 1 15-ounce can Mexican-style tomatoes
- 1 15-ounce can hot chili beans
- 1 15-ounce can whole kernel corn, or fresh corn
- 1 15-ounce can pinto beans
- 1 large onion chopped
- 1 1.25-ounce packet taco seasoning mix
- 1 1.25-ounce packet ranch dressing mix
Instructions
Cook the beef and onion.
- In a large pot, cook the ground beef and chopped onion over medium-high heat until the beef is fully browned and the onion has softened.
Drain the grease.
- Carefully drain any excess grease from the pot.
Add the seasonings.
- Stir the taco seasoning mix and ranch dressing mix into the cooked beef and onion mixture. Mix thoroughly until the meat is evenly coated.
Add the remaining ingredients.
- Add the stewed tomatoes, Mexican-style tomatoes, hot chili beans, corn, and pinto beans to the pot. Do not drain the liquid from the canned ingredients, as it contributes to the broth of the soup.
Simmer the soup.
- Stir well to combine, then allow the soup to simmer for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the flavors are well blended and the soup is heated through.
Serve.
- Serve the soup hot. If desired, garnish with shredded cheese, sour cream, sliced avocado, chopped raw onion, and tortilla chips.
Notes
To make this recipe gluten free, verify that the taco seasoning mix, ranch dressing mix, canned tomatoes, chili beans, pinto beans, and tortilla chips are certified gluten free, as some packaged products may contain gluten or be subject to cross-contact. If preferred, use homemade taco seasoning and homemade ranch-style seasoning to better control ingredients. Also ensure that the soup is prepared with clean utensils and cookware if it is being made in a shared kitchen.
