Why I Love This Recipe
The flavors of this soup are very familiar, sort of like a chicken tortilla soup or chicken taco soup. You can customize it to your liking, adding ground beef or ground turkey, or leftover chicken shredded up into bite-size pieces.
Some of my favorite things about the recipe –
- Only 7 Ingredients – The easiest recipe you’ll find, this soup is made with just 7 canned ingredients.
- Hardly Any Prep – With just a few cans to open, your prep time is minimal!
- Delicious and Filling – Hearty beans and veggies with leave your bellies full and satisfied.
- Can Be Vegetarian – Just swap the beef broth for vegetable broth and you have a (potentially) completely vegetarian meal. Be sure to read the labels.
Ingredients
All of the ingredients are canned, except for the seasoning, which is in a little packet.
- Diced Tomatoes – try Rotel tomatoes to spice it up, or just a regular tomato is fine too.
- Beef Broth – I opt for a low-sodium beef broth. You could swap for a low-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth.
- Kidney Beans, Black Beans, Pinto Beans – This is the combination of beans that I like to use, but you can mix and match.
- Corn – Frozen would work too.
- Sliced Black Olives
- Taco Seasoning – a small packet, or my homemade taco seasoning.
How To Make 7 Can Soup
See recipe card below for ingredient quantities and full instructions.
- Open the cans and drain all but the tomatoes. Dump the cans together into a big soup pot and the taco seasoning.
- Simmer for about 15-20 minutes. Taste test and add salt and pepper if desired.
- Serve as desired – I like mine loaded with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, tortilla chips and green onions.
Best Soup Toppings
I love to set up a soup topping bar and let everyone go to town selecting their favorite toppings: Shredded cheese, sour cream, sliced green onions, cilantro, avocado, jalapenos, lime wedges, crushed tortilla chips or corn chips.
Storage
Storing: Store cooled soup in an airtight container for up to 4-5 days in the refrigerator or 4-5 months in the freezer. It’s a great make ahead meal!
Reheating: Thaw before reheating, then reheat in the microwave or in a saucepan on the stovetop.
Pro Tips
- Try it with meat – Add a pound of cooked ground beef or some shredded chicken to your soup.
- Try some veggies – Add a cup of frozen mixed vegetables or some fresh carrots, peas, potatoes, mushrooms or celery.
- Drain – Make sure to drain and rinse the beans well.
- Seasoning – Instead of taco seasoning, you could just add garlic powder, chili powder and onion powder for great flavor.
