This Healthy Crockpot Taco Soup with Ranch Seasoning is a flavorful, easy weeknight meal. It combines lean ground turkey, black beans, corn, and tomatoes with a unique ranch seasoning technique for a rich, satisfying broth.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground turkey or chicken (93/7)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chiles (e.g., Rotel)
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes (fire-roasted preferred)
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz) corn, drained
  • 1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix (e.g., Hidden Valley)
  • Optional toppings: plain Greek yogurt, shredded cheddar cheese, avocado, fresh cilantro, lime juice

Instructions

  1. Brown the meat and aromatics: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey and cook, breaking it up, until no longer pink (5-7 minutes). Add diced onion and minced garlic; cook 2-3 minutes until softened.
  2. Combine in crockpot: Transfer browned meat mixture to a 5-6 quart slow cooker. Add drained black beans, drained corn, both cans of tomatoes (with juices), and beef broth. Stir to combine.
  3. Add seasoning: Sprinkle taco seasoning and ranch seasoning packets over the soup. Do not stir.
  4. Slow cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours. Stir 30 minutes before serving.
  5. Taste and adjust: Before serving, taste and add salt, cumin, or lime juice as needed.
  6. Serve with toppings: Ladle into bowls and top with Greek yogurt, cheese, avocado, cilantro, and lime juice.

Notes

For a thicker soup, mash half the black beans before adding. For a creamy version, stir in 4 oz reduced-fat cream cheese or 1/2 cup Greek yogurt at the end. To make vegetarian, omit meat and double the beans. For stovetop, simmer 25-30 minutes after browning.
