Ingredients
- Ground beef
- Diced onion (I use frozen pre-diced onion for a shortcut)
1 (large) can diced tomatoes
2 cans diced tomatoes with green chilies (such as Ro*Tel or Red Gold brands)
2 cans corn
1 can pinto beans
1 can kidney beans
2 cans black beans
2 packets dry Ranch seasoning mix
Step 1: Brown Beef and Onion
Cook the ground beef and the diced onion in a large pot over medium-high heat until the meat is no longer pink. Drain off the fat.
Step 2: Add Remaining Ingredients
Pour in the cans (do NOT drain first) and the Ranch seasoning mix, then give everything a good stir to combine.
Step 3: Cook
Cover the pot (or slow cooker) and simmer the soup on the stovetop for about 2 hours, or in the Crock Pot for 6-8 hours on LOW or 3-4 hours on HIGH.
Notes
You don’t need to add broth to the soup because you get the rich, flavorful liquid from the canned beans and vegetables. The condensation from the covered pot will also add liquid to the soup. If you prefer a thinner soup, however, you can stir in beef broth or water at the end until it reaches the desired consistency.
Substitute ground chicken or ground turkey for the ground beef.
The soup is seasoned with the Ranch mix, as well as the zesty green chilies that are packed with the diced tomatoes. You can feel free to add any other spices or seasonings that you like, such as chili powder, cumin or garlic powder.

Storage Tips
This makes a very large pot of soup — about 16 cups — so it’s a great way to feed a crowd. The cozy meal is also a nice way to share food with loved ones. If you know someone who recently had a baby, is recovering from surgery, or just had a rough week, deliver a container of this soup with a side of cornbread for the perfect edible hug!
Leftover soup will last in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat leftovers for an easy lunch the next day!
How to Freeze
Allow the soup to cool to room temperature. Package in Ziploc freezer bags (if you want them to lay flat to save space) or in other freezer-safe containers in smaller portions. The soup will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Thaw in the refrigerator overnight, transfer to a saucepan, and warm over low heat until the soup reaches the desired temperature. You can also reheat individual bowls in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.
