In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat and transfer the cooked beef to a large soup pot or slow cooker.
In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion until softened, about 3-5 minutes. Add the onions to the soup pot or slow cooker.
Drain and rinse the black beans and kidney beans, and add them to the pot along with the undrained diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and undrained corn.
Stir in the taco seasoning packet, ranch dressing mix, and 2 cups of water. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
If using a stovetop, bring the soup to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20-25 minutes. If using a slow cooker, set it to low and cook for 4-6 hours.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add additional water if you prefer a thinner soup consistency.
Serve the soup hot in bowls. Optionally, top with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a handful of crushed tortilla chips.
To freeze for Once-A-Month Cooking (OAMC), let the soup cool completely after cooking. Divide it into freezer-safe containers or freezer bags, label with the name and date, and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat on the stovetop until hot.
