A quick and easy one-pot taco soup made with ground beef, ranch seasoning, and fire-roasted tomatoes. Ready in about 30 minutes, this cozy soup is perfect for busy weeknights and gets even better the next day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef (85/15)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14.5 oz / 411g) fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (15 oz / 425g) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz / 425g) corn, drained
  • 4 cups (960ml) low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 packet (1 oz / 28g) ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 packet (1 oz / 28g) taco seasoning mix
  • Optional toppings: shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, sliced jalapeños, fresh cilantro, crushed tortilla chips, diced avocado, lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground beef in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, for 5-7 minutes until fully browned with some crispy edges. Drain excess fat if needed.
  2. Reduce heat to medium. Add diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Sprinkle ranch seasoning and taco seasoning over the beef and onion mixture. Stir and cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
  4. Pour in beef broth and fire-roasted diced tomatoes (with juices). Stir well, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits.
  5. Stir in drained black beans and drained corn. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed (add black pepper or lime juice to taste).
  7. Ladle into bowls and serve with desired toppings.

Notes

For a creamier version, stir in 4 oz (115g) cream cheese at the end off the heat. This soup freezes well for up to 3 months. To thicken, simmer uncovered longer or mash some beans against the pot. For a vegetarian version, skip the beef and add an extra can of beans or diced tofu.
