Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef
About 2 cups diced onions. I usually use white onions
Brown these together in a large pot and drain fat. If you like crunchy onions, don't brown them with the beef.

Add to pot:
Onions if not browned already
1 (15 1/2-ounce) black beans, drained. Use any beans you like.
1 (15 1/4-ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can tomatoes with chiles
2 (1 1/4-ounce) packages taco seasoning mix, or the home made version above.
2 (1-ounce) package ranch salad dressing mix

1 (14 1/2-ounce) can Mexican-style stewed tomatoes I've never been able to find these
2 (14 1/2-ounce) cans diced tomatoes Instead of these Tomatoes I use :
1 28 oz can of Tomato Sauce
1 can of beef broth(low salt variety) Add as much as is needed to make " soup ". If you like it thicker, add less broth

Optional
2 (4 1/2-ounce) cans diced green chiles
1 (4.6-ounce) can black olives, drained and sliced
1/2 cup green olives, sliced

Cook until heated through.

To serve, place a few chips in each bowl and ladle soup over them. Top with sour cream, cheese, green onions and jalapenos or whatever you like on Tacos.
