Ground turkey and a handful of other ingredients are all that’s required for this satisfying soup that’s nicely spiced with salsa, green chilies and chili powder. “It’s perfect on busy weeknights in the winter.” —Genise Krause, Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin

Wicked easy, Wicked delicious, I used cubed chicken instead of ground turkey. Pairs nice with a couple slices of a cheese quesadilla with clinatro on wheat tortillas.

Love this soup, the only change I made was that I used black beans instead of kidney beans( personnal preference)

@tdpries1:

All you've done is note how you'd change a southwestern flavored soup into basic, boring vegetable soup. Why write a review for a recipe you will not eat? Also, green chiles are available in a mild version with no heat what so ever and chili powder adds smokiness, not heat. It is very irritating to read reviews for a recipe from someone who has not or will not make said recipe.

It sounds good, basically, but I do not like spicy foods, so would eliminate the chilies and the chili powder. I would add a lot more veggies: carrots and green beans at least. Haven't actually tried it, not into salsa, but would add home-frozen tomatoes instead. Overall, sounds good, especially with a hot loaf of home-made french or italian bread.

My husband loves it! Said to make it again. I used reduced sodium kidney beans & used homemade chicken broth to reduce the sodium.
