This is a forgiving, one-pot soup that doesn’t require precision. It simmers into a hearty, flavorful bowl that reheats well and holds up to small ingredient swaps.
Brown the beef: In a large pot, cook 1 pound ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
Add onions: Stir in 1 medium onion, chopped, chopped, and cook until softened.
Stir in remaining ingredients: Add 3 10.75 oz cans minestrone soup, 2 15 oz cans Ranch-style beans, 1 10 oz. can Rotel tomatoes, 11 14.5 oz. can diced tomatoes, 2 cubes beef bouillon, and 4 cups water.

Notes
Can I freeze the leftovers? Yes. Cool completely, portion, and freeze up to 3 months.
Can I make this in a slow cooker? Yes. Brown the beef and onion first, then combine everything in the slow cooker and heat on LOW for 3–4 hours.
