Description

A hearty and comforting soup that combines ground turkey, spices, and vegetables for a flavorful meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cans diced tomatoes, preferably fire-roasted
  • 1 can black or pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn, fresh or frozen
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • Sour cream or shredded cheese, optional for serving
  • Lime wedges, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  2. Push the onions to one side of the pot and add the ground turkey. Season with salt and let it brown, mixing with the onions, for about 6–8 minutes.
  3. Add the chili powder and cumin to the turkey mixture, stirring for one minute. Then, add the diced tomatoes, beans, corn, bell pepper, and broth, mixing everything well.
  4. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20-30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  5. Before serving, taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro, sour cream, or cheese, with lime wedges on the side.
