Quick Turkey-Bean Soup

Name: Quick Turkey-Bean Soup
Prep time: 30 min
Total time: 30 min
Yield: 14-16 servings (4 quarts).
Ingredients: 1 pound ground turkey; 2 garlic cloves, minced; 1 medium onion, chopped; 1 tablespoon canola oil; 1-1/2 cups chopped celery; 1 medium green pepper, chopped; 1 medium sweet red pepper, chopped; 2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) beef broth; 1 can (28 ounces) stewed tomatoes; 3 tablespoons tomato paste; 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper; 1/4 teaspoon dried basil; 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano; 2 cans (16 ounces each) kidney beans, rinsed and drained; 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained; 1 can (15 ounces) pinto beans, rinsed and drained; 1 can (15-1/4 ounces) whole kernel corn, drained

This recipe calls for canned beans, so cooking time is minimal. I make soup mild and allow guests to add as much "heat" as they want with hot pepper sauce.

This recipe was delicious! I had to tweak it a little because of what I had on hand, but it still worked great! I'll make this again!

Works well without the green pepper, needs the red pepper. I used turkey broth at first, but beef broth improved flavor. Fresh basil worked well. Used jarred garlic. Also used some diced can tomatoes and the stewed - (I made 1/3rd more of the soup.) Really liked this soup. Used my own frozen corn. This soup had a FRESH Flavor...
