Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs ground beef
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- ½ medium yellow onion (diced)
- 1 (15.25 oz) can of black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1 (15.25 oz) can of kidney beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1 (15.25 oz) can of whole-kernel corn (drained and rinsed)

- 1 (1 oz) package of ranch seasoning
- 1 (16 oz) bottle of salsa (I used pace picante)
- 2 ½ cups water
- 1 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add garlic and saute for 30 seconds. Then add onion and saute for 3 minutes. Add in ground beef and cook until completely browned. Then drain off excess grease.
- Add beans, corn, tomatoes, taco seasoning, ranch seasoning, salsa, water, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer covered for 20 minutes.
- Serve while hot with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- No black beans? Swap them with pinto or white beans! No salsa? Diced tomatoes with green chiles would work too!
- Serve the soup with a variety of toppings like shredded cheese, tortilla chips, avocado, pico de gallo, and sour cream.
- Make a double batch and freeze half for an effortless dinner on a busy night. Perfect for meal prep!
- Don’t add extra salt. The ranch and taco flavor packets have plenty in them.
