When nights become cooler, this zesty Tex-mex soup is the dish to make! Warming and full of flavourful ground turkey, vegetables and filling beans, this soup is ready to eat in about 35 minutes with six hearty servings. Kids will like the familiar veggie and adults will enjoy the spicy kick. Serve with a cool green salad for a full plate. Leftovers are divine and freeze well so make a little more or put some aside for another meal. The slight heat of the chili sauce is cooled by the squeeze of fresh lime juice and cilantro finish. If you get the soapy flavour from cilantro, try fresh parsley in its place. If fresh corn is available, use that in place of frozen for the freshest results. If you have a lot of turkey leftover from the holidays, try making this with shredded turkey for a great variation.
