Turkey Tortilla Soup

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

• 4 carrot chopped in ¼-inch dice, medium
• 4 teaspoons cumin
• 4 teaspoons chili powder

• 8 - 6- inch corn tortillas cut in small pieces
• 2 ½ quarts chicken broth low sodium
• 2 28- ounce crushed tomato canned

• 1 - 19- ounce corn kernels I like the kind labeled "super sweet", frozen
• 2 - 4- ounce green chile canned
• 2 - 15- ounce black beans drained and rinsed, canned
• Suggested toppings:
• sour cream
• tomato chopped
• avocado diced
• cilantro sprigs
• cotija cheese crumbled
• tortilla strips see recipe below, crispy

Ingredients:
