🥣 Recipe Tips
- Boost the flavor with a quick sear: Before adding the cans, brown the ground beef thoroughly and let the onions caramelize slightly—this deepens the savory base and makes every spoonful richer.
- Drain the corn, keep the rest: Don’t drain the beans, tomatoes, or Rotel (their liquid adds flavor and body), but always drain the corn to prevent the soup from getting too watery.
- Let it rest for max taste: After simmering, let the soup sit for 10 minutes off the heat. This allows the ranch and taco seasonings to fully meld, giving you bolder, more balanced flavor.
How to make this 7 Can Taco Soup
Add ground beef, onion and minced garlic in a large dutch oven over medium high heat.
NOTE: We used our Ninja 4 in 1 cooking system that has a stove top function. This is so we can brown the meat then switch to slow cooker to finish the recipe in one pot. Our favorite slow cooker!!
Cook and breakup the the ground beef until it is brown and the onions are translucent. (Use either a spatula or a “ground beef breaker upper” to separate the ground beef as it browns). Add salt and pepper to taste.
Add all 7 cans to ground beef, onion and garlic mixture. Do not drain the tomatoes, beans and Rotel but drain the canned corn.
Add the packages of taco seasoning and ranch dressing mix.
Stir the 7 can taco soup together until all ingredients are well combined. Let simmer for 30 minutes on stovetop or place in slow cooker on low for 3-4 hours.
There you have it- 7 Can Taco Soup is pure comfort in a bowl! In under an hour (or a hands-off slow cooker afternoon), you’ve got a hearty, flavor-packed meal that feeds a crowd and warms the soul. The zesty kick from Rotel, creamy tang of ranch, and customizable soup bar make every bite a winner. Perfect for game days, busy weeknights, or anytime you need easy, delicious comfort. Try it once, and it’ll be your go-to too!
For a Taco soup bar: Set out bowls, spoons and a ladle next to the slow cooker. Add bowls of sour cream, grated cheese, chopped onions, jalapeños plus slices of crusty bread, tortilla chips or tortillas on the side. Then everyone can serve themselves with toppings of their choice. We hope you enjoy this recipe for your next get-together.

I've eaten taco soup before, but it was bland. Your recipe, with the Rotel, Taco Seasoning and Ranch Salad Dressing mix sounds like it would have the "punch" I've been looking for. Thanks for the recipe! How many hopefuls does this usually make?
This looks so good! I love taco soup. Heck, I love anything Mexican! Yum!
