I've gotten great response at our church dinners and senior groups whenever I bring this thick easy-to-fix soup. I usually take home an empty pot and often get requests for the recipe. The flavor seems to improve with leftovers...if there are any! -Evelyn Buford, Belton, Missouri

Time 25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 lb lean ground beef or 3/4 lb diced boneless skinless chicken breast
2 (15 ounce) cans low-sodium black beans, do not drain
1 (15 ounce) can small red beans or 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, drained
1 (10 ounce) can Rotel tomatoes & chilies, do not drain
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (1 1/4 ounce) packet taco seasoning (use Regular or Hot & Spicy)
1 (1 ounce) packet ranch dressing mix
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt
shredded sharp cheddar cheese, to serve
sour cream, to serve
tortilla chips, use for dipping

Steps:

  • Brown the hamburger or chicken in a large pot then drain the excess grease.
  • Add all the ingredients except the cheese & sour cream. Simmer for 10-15 minutes on medium-low heat.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls then top with sour cream & cheese. Serve with tortilla chips.

Tips:

  • Use flavorful ground beef: Choose a ground beef with a higher fat content (at least 80%) for a richer flavor.
  • Sauté the vegetables: Sautéing the vegetables in a little bit of oil before adding them to the soup will help to develop their flavor.
  • Use a variety of beans: Using a variety of beans, such as black beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans, will add different flavors and textures to the soup.
  • Add some spice: If you like spicy soup, add some chili powder, cayenne pepper, or chopped jalapeños to the soup.
  • Don't overcook the soup: The soup is best when the vegetables are still slightly crunchy. Overcooking the soup will make the vegetables mushy.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Serve the soup with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, or tortilla chips.
