How to Make Ultimate Taco Soup

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown 1 lb of ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add 1 large chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1 cup of ranch dressing and 2 packets of taco seasoning. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Add 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans (rinsed and drained), 1 (15 ounce) can black beans (rinsed and drained), 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies, 4 cups beef broth, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon chili powder, salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 hour, or until flavors have melded.
  6. Serve hot, ladled over corn chips. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and your favorite taco toppings (optional).
