Cheesy Taco Soup

Brown beef, breaking into small pieces. Drain. Add all other ingredients except cheese. Stir and let simmer for 20 minutes. Add more water if needed. Add Velveeta cheese and stir until it melts. Serve with Frito scoops and a dollop of sour cream if desired. Sooooo good. The ranch dressing and taco seasoning mixes really make this soup. You can adjust the "heat" of this by replacing the can of diced tomatoes with another Rotel to make it spicier, or make it milder by using mild Rotel or 2 cans of regular diced tomato. This is a very versitle recipe. Tweak it to fit your tastes.
