1 can (15 oz) Whole Kernel Corn, drained
1 packet Ranch Dressing Mix
1 packet Taco Seasoning
2 cups Beef Broth
Instructions
Heat a large stockpot over medium-high heat.
Add ground beef and diced onion to the pot.
Cook until the beef is browned and the onions are translucent.
Drain excess grease from the pot.
Stir in the taco seasoning and ranch dressing mix until the beef is evenly coated.
Add the undrained chili beans, drained black beans, diced tomatoes with juices, corn, and beef broth.
Bring the soup to a simmer over medium heat.
Reduce heat and let the soup simmer for about 20-25 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
