Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 pounds lean ground beef
  • 1 cup onion, chopped
  • 4 ounces diced green chiles (1 can)
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 29 ounces diced tomatoes (two 14.5 ounce cans)
  • 15 ounces pinto beans (1 can, drained)
  • 15 ounces black beans (1 can, drained)
  • 15 ounces kidney beans (1 can, drained and rinsed)
  • 1.25 ounces taco seasoning mix (1 package)
  • 1.5 tablespoons dry ranch seasoning mix (1 package)
  • 14 ounces chicken broth (1 can)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Toppings and Sides
  • Shredded cheese
  • Tortilla chips

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large Dutch oven over medium heat, brown the lean ground beef and chopped onion together, stirring until the meat is fully cooked and the onion is softened. Drain any excess fat to keep the soup lean.
  2. Stir in the diced green chiles, the drained pinto beans, black beans, kidney beans, chicken broth, taco seasoning mix, dry ranch seasoning mix, frozen corn, and diced tomatoes. Mix everything well to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let the soup simmer gently for about 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend beautifully.
  4. Ladle the hot taco soup into bowls, top with shredded cheese, and serve with crunchy tortilla chips on the side for added texture and flavor.

Notes

For added flavor, consider roasting your vegetables before adding them to the pot. Adjust the spice level with hotter taco seasoning or fresh diced jalapeños. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or freeze for up to three months.
