Directions

Step 1

In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.

Step 2

Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Sprinkle the ranch dressing mix and taco seasoning mix over the beef and onions. Stir well to coat evenly.

Step 4

Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, green chilies, pinto beans, black beans, kidney beans, and corn. Mix everything thoroughly.

Step 5

Pour in the beef broth and stir to combine. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 6

Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 8

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with shredded cheese, sour cream, and crushed tortilla chips, if desired. Serve hot.
