Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
- 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15 oz) corn kernels, drained
- 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Shredded cheddar cheese, for garnish
- Chopped green onions, for garnish
- Sour cream, for garnish
- Tortilla chips or crushed tortilla chips, for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat and set the beef aside.
- In the same pot, sauté the chopped onion until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the ground beef back to the pot with the onion, then stir in the ranch seasoning mix and taco seasoning mix. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the seasonings to become fragrant.
- Add the kidney beans, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes with green chilies, diced tomatoes, and beef broth to the pot. Stir well to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer uncovered for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
- Serve hot, garnished with shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, sour cream, and crushed tortilla chips for added crunch.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add a can of diced jalapeños or a few teaspoons of hot sauce to the soup.
- If you want to make it a bit lighter, use lean ground turkey or chicken instead of beef, and substitute the heavy cream with a lower-fat milk or dairy-free option.
- This soup can easily be made in a slow cooker. Brown the beef and onions first, then transfer everything to the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
