Have all of your ingredients prepped, cans open, and this soup comes together in a flash. To save even more time, you can use a store-bought taco seasoning and omit the chili powder through the black pepper. For a thicker soup, carefully blend half of the soup and return it to the pot to heat through.

Ingredients

Olive oil

1 tsp

Uncooked onion

1 medium, yellow, chopped

Bell pepper

1 item(s), medium, green, chopped

Garlic clove

4 clove(s), finely chopped

Jalapeño pepper

1 medium, seeded and finely chopped

Uncooked 93% lean ground turkey

1 pound(s)

Chili powder

1 Tbsp

Ranch seasoning

1 Tbsp

Ground cumin

1 tsp

Smoked paprika

1 tsp

Ground oregano

1 tsp

Onion powder

½ tsp

Table salt

¼ tsp

Black pepper

¼ tsp, freshly ground

Ready-to-eat chicken broth

3 cup(s)

Canned diced tomatoes

29 oz, fire-roasted with green chilies

Canned black beans

15 oz, rinsed and drained

Frozen corn

1 cup(s)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil In a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and green peppers; cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender and soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and jalapeno, and continue cooking, stirring, for about 2 minutes. Add ground turkey, and cook, breaking up any large pieces with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in chili powder, Ranch seasoning, cumin, paprika, oregano, onion powder, salt, and black pepper, and cook, stirring until spices are fragrant and any remaining liquid is absorbed, about 1 minute. Add broth and tomatoes; bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until flavors marry, about 30 minutes. Using a shallow ladle or wide spoon, skim off any scum or fat on the top. Add in beans and corn, and heat through, another 5 minutes.
  2. Remove from heat. Ladle soup into bowls, and garnish each bowl with your favorite taco toppings.
  3. Serving size: about 1 ¼ cups

Notes

Garnish your soup with your favorite taco toppings: Greek yogurt, shredded cheese, cilantro, avocado, tortilla strips, and a squeeze of lime juice are all delicious.
