Paula Deen's Taco Soup

2 lb. ground beef or ground turkey
2 c. diced onions
2 (15 1/2 oz.) cans pinto beans
1 (15 1/2 oz.) can red kidney beans
1 (15 1/2 oz.) can whole kernal corn
1 (14 1/2 oz.) can Mexican style-stewed tomatoes
1 (14 1/2 oz.) can diced tomatoes
1 (14 1/2 oz.) can tomatoes and green chilies
2 ( 4 1/2 oz.) cans diced green chilies
1 (4 5/8 oz.) can black olives, drained and sliced
1/2 c. green olives, sliced (optional)
1 (1 1/4 oz.) package taco seasoning mix
1 (1 oz.) package ranch dressing mix
Corn chips, for serving
Sour cream, for garnish
Grated cheese, for garnish
Chopped green onion, for garnish

Brown the ground beef and onions in a large skillet; drain off the excess fat and transfer browned beef and onions to a large slow cooker or stockpot. Add the beans, corn, tomatoes, green chilies, black olives, green olives, taco seasoning, and ranch dressing mix. Cook on LOW in crock pot for 6-8 hours, or simmer over low heat in stockpot for about 1 hour. To serve, place a few corn chips in each bowl and ladle soup over them. Top with sour cream, cheese, green onions and jalapenos.
