In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.
Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Sprinkle the ranch dressing mix and taco seasoning mix over the beef and onions. Stir well to coat evenly.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, green chilies, pinto beans, black beans, kidney beans, and corn. Mix everything thoroughly.
Pour in the beef broth and stir to combine. Season with salt and black pepper.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with shredded cheese, sour cream, and crushed tortilla chips, if desired. Serve hot.
