Taco Soup

Step 1

Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the scallion whites and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and soft, about 2 minutes. Add the beef and cook, stirring to break it up into small crumbles, until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the taco and ranch seasonings until well combined.

Step 2

Add the tomatoes, beans, corn and 1 teaspoon salt. Fill one of the bean cans with water and add it to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the beans are warmed through, about 10 minutes.

Step 3

Serve in bowls with scallion greens, Cheddar, sour cream and pico de gallo.
