A flavorful and hearty soup inspired by Tex-Mex cuisine, perfect for a cozy meal.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground turkey until browned, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks.
Ensure the turkey is fully cooked and no longer pink before proceeding.
Transfer the cooked turkey to a slow cooker.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the turkey to remove excess grease.
Add the diced onion, minced garlic, black beans, diced tomatoes, corn, taco seasoning, ranch dressing mix, and water to the slow cooker. Stir well to combine.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 1-2 hours or on low for 4-6 hours.
Stir occasionally if possible to prevent sticking.
Serve the soup hot, topped with crushed tortilla chips and shredded cheddar cheese.
Add a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for extra flavor.
