Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 can black beans, drained
- 1 cup corn
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by chopping the onion, mincing the garlic, and draining the black beans.
- Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and break it up with a wooden spoon, cooking until it's no longer pink and begins to brown, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the turkey. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions become translucent and fragrant.
- Stir in the chili powder, salt, and pepper, coating the turkey and onion mixture evenly with the spices.
- Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juice, vegetable broth, black beans, and corn. Stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and let simmer for 20-25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the soup to thicken slightly.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve hot in bowls, optionally garnishing with fresh cilantro, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, chop your onion and mince the garlic ahead of time. You can even prepare the vegetables a day in advance and store them in the fridge.
- Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to add other vegetables you have on hand, such as bell peppers, zucchini, or spinach, to make the soup even heartier.
- Adjust the Spice Level: If you prefer a milder soup, reduce the amount of chili powder or add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt when serving to balance the heat.
- Make It a Meal: Serve the soup with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
- Store Leftovers Wisely: This soup stores well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or can be frozen for up to 3 months. Just make sure to let it cool completely before transferring to airtight containers.
- Garnish for Extra Flavor: Elevate your soup by garnishing with fresh cilantro, a sprinkle of cheese, or a squeeze of lime juice right before serving for an extra burst of flavor.
