A hearty and flavorful Santa Fe Soup, also known as Taco Soup, combines ground beef, a medley of beans, corn, and bold seasonings for a comforting and easy-to-make meal perfect for any day.

Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Beans and Corn

  • 1 (16 ounce) can pinto beans, drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained
  • 1 (16 ounce) can kidney beans, drained
  • 1 (1 can) corn kernels, drained

Seasonings and Liquids

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 (10 ounce) can Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chilies)
  • 1 (1 ounce) packet taco seasoning
  • 1 (1 ounce) packet ranch seasoning
  • 2 cups beef broth

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground beef: Place ground beef in a large pot or Dutch oven and cook over medium heat until browned. Drain off any excess grease to keep the soup from becoming too oily. Add diced onion to the pot and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
  2. Add garlic and seasonings: Stir in minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  3. Combine remaining ingredients: Add the taco seasoning, ranch seasoning, beef broth, Rotel tomatoes, pinto beans, black beans, kidney beans, and drained corn kernels to the pot. Stir well to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
  4. Simmer the soup: Cover the pot with a lid and cook on medium-low heat for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and the soup to thicken slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Notes

  • For a spicier soup, add extra Rotel or a dash of hot sauce.
  • Use ground turkey instead of beef for a leaner option.
  • Vegetarian version: omit beef and use vegetable broth.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
  • Serve with shredded cheese, sour cream, or tortilla chips for extra texture and flavor.
