Turkey Taco Soup
Description
Turkey Taco Soup starts by browning ground turkey in a sprayed pot, then cooking onions and bell peppers with it briefly. The soup base includes canned Rotel tomatoes with green chilies, corn, kidney beans, tomato sauce, and refried beans, seasoned with taco seasoning and diluted with chicken broth. The mixture simmers to blend robust savory and slightly spicy flavors.
The texture combines tender turkey chunks with soft beans and vegetables in a brothy consistency that is warming and filling. It's suitable as a simple one-pot meal that can be portioned for meals ahead.
The soup can be garnished with low-fat sour cream, jalapeños, reduced-fat cheese, scallions, onions, or cilantro according to preference. Leftovers freeze well in individual portions for convenient reheating.
