Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cans (16 ounces each) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) chicken broth
  • 2 cups frozen corn
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chiles
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • Sour cream and minced fresh cilantro

Directions

  1. In a Dutch oven, cook turkey in oil over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain.
  2. Add the beans, broth, corn, salsa, chiles and chili powder. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes to allow flavors to blend. Serve with sour cream and cilantro.

Can you freeze Southwest Turkey Soup?

Before adding sour cream and cilantro, cool soup. Freeze soup in freezer containers up to 3 months. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally and adding a little broth or water if necessary. Serve with sour cream and cilantro.
