Ree's 7-Can Soup Has a Secret 8th Ingredient (2024)

These seven simple ingredients (okay, eight!) result in the easiest soup recipe on the planet.

I made this soup on The Pioneer Woman, my Food Network show a few weeks ago, and it's seriously one of those recipes that makes a person say phrases like, "Uh… could you repeat that?" and "Whaaaaa?" and “Crazytown!" and other questions/exclamations that convey surprise over how such a simple list of ingredients could result in something so, so good. 7-Can Soup has been around for a long time, and no two recipes are identical, but they basically amount to this:

Seven cans of whatever you want. Don't drain the cans. Just violently throw them into the pot.

Some kind of gourmet cheese stirred in at the end. And just a warning: My type of cheese is a little intimidating in its level of sophistication, so I apologize in advance. (It's Velveeta.)

Serve this 30-minute meal with a skillet of cornbread or a grilled cheese sandwich.This soup is magic!

Can you leave out the cheese?

Sure, but why would you everdo such a thing? Velveeta gives the soup a delicious creaminess, but you could skip it if cheeseisn't your thing. If the problem is that you don't have a block of Velveeta on hand, a block of cream cheese can be substituted.Or, you could top each bowl with a handful of shredded cheddar. Or, yes, you canjust leave out the cheese all together.

What meat can you add to 7-can soup?

Ground beef would be a nice, hearty addition to this soup. Brown it in the pot anddrain the fat before adding the other ingredients.

Here are the cans you need for 7-Can Soup! And you can change it up, swap, sub, switch… whatever cans you'd like to use!

From left to right, here are my crazy choices: canned chili (which admittedly is one of the most questionable-looking canned foods known to man), canned corn (I used the Fiesta kind!), canned black beans, canned pinto beans, canned kidney beans, and diced tomatoes.

Now, you may notice that there are only six cans in this photo. That is because I had forgotten to put the can of Rotel in the picture. (But I didn't forget to put it in the soup. It just took me awhile to remember!)

Everything will all make sense in a minute or two, when I actually add an eighth ingredient to the 7-Can Soup that isn't even a canned ingredient at all, so come to think of it, it won't make sense in a minute or two.

But that's what makes life thrilling around my house.

Crack open all the cans and starting pouring them into a pot…

Throw in a hunk of Velveeta.

Now, the instructions below will tell you to dice the Velveeta and add it in.

But I love the bold courage of throwing tossing it into the pan in one huge hunk.

Reduce the heat to low and stir the soup until the Velveeta is totally melted. It’ll turn the base gorgeously creamy and you'll want to dive right in. You will!
