the other day my sweet sister sent out an email to all the girls in my family telling us about this soup recipe she’d made. i knew as soon as i read it that we HAD to try it! and here are the reasons why:
1. it’s so easy. and fast. it involves opening 7 cans and heating it up! can’t get much easier and faster than that.
2. because it uses all canned ingredients, it’s something that you can always have on hand. it’s also a fabulous food storage recipe – i’m adding this recipe to my list and will be stocking up on these ingredients!
3. i’d never heard of ranch beans before…and needed to find out what they were! (by the way, they’re fab – gives the soup a great flavor and a bit of kick!)
ready to see how YOU can have dinner ready in less than 10 minutes?
gather these canned ingredients + 1 cup water + 1 chicken bouillon cube.
empty all the cans into a pot, add the water and chicken bouillon and heat through. it takes 3 minutes to put together and just a few more to heat. and don’t worry about adding any spices – it’s got plenty of heat!
while you’re waiting, grate some cheese, get out the sour cream, and open a bag of fritos.
dinner’s served! there. wasn’t that easy?!

I love that it is such a quick fix and a great taste and yes, a great food storage recipe. Yum!
Great question, Jacqui! The kernel corn – yes, drain first. The creamed corn – no, just throw that in the pot as it is. Thanks for asking!

Any ideas for a vegetarian option? This sounds delicious!

Hi Katie, I’m not sure about a vegetarian option…you could always leave the chicken itself out, but then there’s the chicken & rice soup, and also the chicken stock/chicken bouillon…. You could try just omitting those things – there’s still a lot of flavor in the rotel and ranch-style beans. Other than that, I can’t think of any suggestions – sorry I can’t help more!!

I’ve read and re-read the recipe, but it just don’t see how much chicken to add. Appears to be at least 2 cups in the bowl. Please advise.

Ahh, just went back to look at the picture and I see that you have the ingredients according to cans, but I don’t see a can of chicken, that’s what threw me off.

I don’t know Vikki – I’ve never tried it with anything else! If you do try something else, I’d love to hear how it went.
Can you please advise what it is and a possible substitute?
Thanks

I can’t think of a good substitute, Marianne – sorry! Like I said to Jamie in the comments, I got them at WalMart – in with all the rest of the canned beans. It took me a minute to find them…the label is black (you can look at the picture in the post). Hope you find some!

you can use 1 can of canned chicken, or i usually use 2 cooked chicken breasts that i’ve cut up or shredded. you really can add as much or as little as you like.

I can’t seem to find ranch style beans. Is there something I can substitute? Thanks!

None of the stores here in my town carry the ranch style beans, I have used chili beans and it still tastes really good!

You mention opening 7 cans, but I only see 6 cans and a jar of bouillon. Perhaps you meant 7 ingredients with bouillon? Just checking so I am not missing something as there is not a recipe list.

Oops sorry , now I can see one of the cans is chicken. The photo with one can of each was covered with a word /photo overlap so it couldn’t be read before. When I looked the third time I could read it. Sorry! Nice option to use canned chicken if you do not have chicken breasts on hand. I am anxious to give this a try.

Seriously delicious recipe. I changed a few things just because I couldn’t find the beans in the recipe. Really you can use any bean. I have made this on multiple occasions and have found that you can do a lot of substituting if you don’t have certain things in your cupboards. It’s hard to mess this one up. I just overall love it. 5 out of 5.

I believe A friend used a packet of ranch dressing in her soup, in case you cant find the ranch beans.
Vegetable soup. Lean protein from chicken combined with a variety of vegetables can make a satisfying and low-calorie soup that can help you feel full and satisfied.
Doing cardio and abdominal exercises every day, coupled with a healthy diet (that is low in calories, fats, and sugars) is an efficient strategy for losing belly fat quickly. Which fruits are good for a flat tummy? Banana, full of potassium, helps your body get rid of excess water weight.
Canned foods typically get a bad rap for being too processed or high in sodium, but canned soups can be a nutritious source of vegetables and lean protein. While a can of soup doesn't scream "satisfying meal," with a few key additions, you can hack a can of soup into a meal that hits the spot.
Rest assured that our canned food – including soups – are safe and tasty to eat for many years due to the way the food is cooked, right in the can. The soup is filled into steel cans and securely sealed to lock in goodness. The cans are heated under high pressure. This naturally preserves the soup for a long time.
To cook soup on an open fire, the easiest method is straight from the tin. Simply create a nook in the wood, and place the can in. Stir regularly to ensure it doesn't stick to the side of the can. You can then eat it straight from the tin if you wish, although it's safer to decant and then eat.
7 things you didn't know about Campbell's Chunky Soup: 'The soup that eats like a meal' Campbell's Chunky Soup has been filling bellies since the 1970s. 1. In the early 1960s, new research inspired Campbell's to create a hearty, ready-to-serve soup.
The correct way to eat soup at formal gatherings dictates that you should never dip your bread into your soup. Proper soup etiquette for bread is to sip your soup from your spoon, place your spoon on your plate, and then use the same hand you use for your spoon to pick up your bread and take a bite.
The classic pairing of consommé and sherry (or Madeira) comes into that category. The sherry adds a touch of sweetness and nuttiness to balance the meaty savouriness of the soup. The wines that I think generally pair best with soup are crisp dry whites with some intensity and persistence.
If soup is the only thing you are eating, it may not provide you with enough nutrients. It is best to eat soup as part of a balanced meal that includes a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein sources.
To rightly be considered as dinner, a soup must not only be filling, but must also be correct on the calorie chart. Hearty soups like Russian Borsch, Vietnamese pho, and Italian Minestrone are considered as main courses. They have an apt mix of vegetables, protein and carbohydrates in a single bowl.
Soup diets are easy and convenient to prepare cutting out the time taken to prepare a meal, it's an all in a one pot meal. Although soup diets help reduce weight quicker than other diets, it is only recommended for 7 days therefore is not sustainable in the long term.
A study published in the journal Appetite found that when people ate a low-calorie soup (about 130 calories for women and 170 for men) before lunch, they naturally consumed about 20% fewer calories overall—but didn't feel less full. And no, not just any appetizer will do.
It's just three days, enough time to feel a difference. Each day, you'll have a healthy breakfast, then soup for lunch, and a different one for dinner. If you're hungry between meals, choose one of the snacks. To add even more nutrition and interest, add a Souper Topper.
