7-Can Taco Soup

7-can Taco Soup consists of canned corn, green beans, Rotel, stewed tomatoes, tomato sauce, chili beans, and black beans, which blend seamlessly with savory browned ground beef, Ranch, and taco seasonings. The soup is garnished with a dollop of sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and crushed tortilla chips. This hearty soup recipe comes together quickly and is full of rich flavors!

Yum! This was a super popular easy soup recipe in the early 2000s, so when I stumbled upon the recipe from my sister, I had to make it again. This taco soup is the bomb! So tasty and hearty, it has to be one of the best soups ever- and I don’t say that lightly. The Ranch and taco seasoning packets blend wonderfully with the ground beef, beans, and veggies for a hearty soup that tastes amazing!

My kids loved it as well. It’s maybe a touch better than our favorite Ground Beef with Frozen Vegetables soup. It’s that excellent flavor, and the sour cream and tortilla chips topping make it so fun!

Ingredients for 7-Can Taco Soup

• 1 lb browned ground beef

• 1 can of green beans(14.5 ounces), undrained

• 1 can(10 ounces) of Rotel, undrained(tomatoes with chilies, located near the canned tomatoes in store)

• 1 can(15.5 ounces) of chili beans, undrained
• 1 can(15.25 ounces) of black beans, drained and rinsed

Directions for 7-Can Taco Soup

Mix all ingredients together in a large stock pot and let simmer for 2 hours.

**We do not usually have two hours to let it simmer, so just make sure the soup gets good and hot before serving. The longer it simmers the better up to two hours.
