Ingredients

• 1 lb hamburger
• 1 can corn (do not drain)
• 1 can chili beans
• 1 can black beans
• 1 can Rotel tomatoes
• 1 package taco seasoning
• 1 package ranch dressing mix
• 1 1/2 cups water
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

In a large pot, brown the hamburger over medium heat, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess grease.
Stir in the taco seasoning and ranch dressing mix until meat is evenly coated.
Add corn (with liquid), chili beans, black beans, Rotel tomatoes, and water. Stir well to combine.
Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 20–30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.

Serve hot with optional toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, or tortilla chips.

Notes

Serving Tips:
Taco Soup is best enjoyed hot, straight from the pot. Ladle it into bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings like shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, sliced green onions, diced avocado, or crushed tortilla chips for added crunch. Serve it alongside cornbread or a slice of crusty bread for a complete and hearty meal. It also pairs wonderfully with a fresh green salad or Mexican rice for a fuller spread.

Storage Tips:
Allow the soup to cool completely before storing. Transfer to airtight containers and refrigerate for up to 4 days. To freeze, portion the soup into freezer-safe containers or zip-top bags and freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave until heated through. This soup actually tastes even better the next day as the flavors deepen and meld.
