  4. Stir in taco seasoning and ranch seasoning until everything is well combined.
  5. Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
  6. About 30 minutes before serving, taste your soup and adjust it with salt and pepper as needed.
  7. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, or jalapeños.
