Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add olive oil to a 5-quart soup pot and set over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the onion starts to turn translucent.
  2. Add in the ground turkey, garlic cloves, minced chipotle peppers, chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika and dried oregano. Break down the turkey with a spatula into small pieces and stir to combine to make sure the spices are equally coating the meat and vegetables. Cook for about 10 minutes to help brown the meat.
  3. Add in the chicken stock, diced tomatoes with their juice, black beans, red kidney beans, diced green chiles and corn kernels. Stir to combine.
  4. Let simmer over medium heat for about 35 minutes or until thick and flavorful.
  5. If desired, top with shredded cheese, sour cream, Greek yogurt, minced cilantro and tortilla chips.

Notes

  • Topping ideas: shredded cheese, sour cream, Greek yogurt, green onions, diced yellow onion, or tortilla chips. 
  • Use ground chicken in place of ground turkey.
