quick, easy, my family really likes it - my son is so picky - I was surprised he liked it - I doubled the water, taco seasoning and ranch dressin to make it more soup-like.

This was absolutely delicious. I used chili powder, cayenne pepper and hot Hungarian paprika in place of the taco seasoning. Also, to make it vegetarian I used tofu instead of beef. The tofu soaked up all of the flavors in the soup and tasted great!

This was so easy to make. I used only 1 pound of hamburger and kept all other measurements the same. I used frozen corn instead of hominy. I thought the ranch packet sounded strange but dumped it in and it was delicious. I ladled the soup on top of corn chips and then topped with green onion, cheddar cheese, sour cream and cilantro.

Very, Very good. I used chicken instead of beef but did everything the same...added more cumin though and more heat. Hearty and healthy and yummy,..UPDATE: used ground beef the second time around and YUMMO. I also added a 6 oz. can of tomato paste and more water. It is SO good with crushed corn chips and cheese.

I've made this several times but just realized I never reviewed. I make it differently every time according to what I have on hand. I usually only use 1 pound of ground meat as I think it's plenty. I also only use 1 can of beans, whatever kind happens to be in the pantry. I do not add extra salt as there is plenty between the ranch packet and taco packet. I add sour cream and cheese when serving. Perfect cold rainy day meal!

Love it! So easy to make. Kids like it too! I did take some of the suggestions from other reviewers, used frozen corn instead of hominy just because I didn't have any and used 2 cans of pinto beans. I was skeptical of the ranch seasoning package, but did it anyway and it turned out great! Thanks for the recipe!

Awesome, wonderful, exceptional, the best! I used butter beans instead of lima beans, and corn instead of hominy. I topped with sour cream and cilantro. This is very easy and inexpensive to make, but the outcome is very special.

Really, really good stuff!!! I substituted corn for the hominy and more kidney beans for the lima beans. I also added chopped fresh cilantro and sliced avocado on top - extremely tasty! The whole family liked this dinner so I will absolutely be making it again.

We loved this soup. I was a little worried that the green chiles might make it too spicy for me but it really wasn't spice at all. I did use half the ground beef, as we are trying to cut down on red meat and added more water, and it was still so good. Thank you for this quick, easy recipe.

I found it to be a little bland, but I'll add some more pep to it the next time I make it.

This was FANTASTIC! ...and healthy! I only used about a 3/4 lb of lean ground beef. I can't imagine using 2 lbs, I think it would be way too chunky to be considered soup. I left out the Lima beans and hominey but added a can of corn instead. Topped it with a sprinkle of cheddar, light sour cream, fresh lime juice, avacado and several tortilla chips. I thought the idea of ranch dressing mix was rather strange but the taste of this soup was really impressive. Healthy and rather inexpensive meal!

I love this soup!! I omitted the hominy and doubled the corn. I have also used the mexicorn which is great too.The last time I used Turkey meat and it tasted the same. My husband loves this soup, and it can really feed quite a few people. The leftovers are the best though so be sure to make extra. I always serve with tortilla chips, monterey jack cheese, sour cream, avocado and cilantro...

The reason i am giving this 4 stars and not 5 is because it really is more of a chilli but the flavour is wonderful. We will make this again. Thanks.

Very good & easy!!! I did use a can of Mexicorn instead of hominy and otherwise followed the recipe exactly. Very good to add sour cream, cheese, & tostito chips to as well when serving. I love hot stuff so I added some hot sauce to mine & loved the extra kick.

Really good, incredibly easy - very similar to chili beans, but extra delicious. The combination of the different beans along with the hominy is excellent. Only recipe change: My market had only southern-style seasoned lima beans, and it still came out great.

This is AMAZING! I used shredded chicken instead of ground beef. (i'm not really a fan of ground beef so i think it made it better than it would have been otherwise) I also found that there wasnt quite enough liquid, so i doubled the water amount and therefore put in twice the amound of taco seasoning and ranch dressing mix. I also added a can of corn. It was fabulous! My husband loved it!
