Taco Flavored Bean Soup

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp. l. olive oil
• 1 bunch green onions, chopped - white parts separated from green parts
• 450 g of ground beef
• 28 gr. taco seasoning
• 30 gr. ranch dressing seasonings
• 2 x 280g cans of chopped tomatoes with chili peppers
• 3 x 14 oz cans beans, rinsed (mix of pinto, black, and kidney beans)
• 1 can (280 g) canned corn, drained
• Grated cheddar, for serving
• Sour cream, for serving
• Pico de gallo, for serving

Preparation:

1. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add white onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and softened, about 2 minutes. Add ground beef and cook, stirring to break it into fine crumbs, for 8-10 minutes. Stir in taco seasoning and ranch dressing.
2. Add the tomatoes, beans, corn, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Fill one of the bean cans with water and pour it into the saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the beans are heated through, about 10 minutes.
3. Serve the soup in bowls, topped with green onions, cheddar, sour cream and pico de gallo.
