Ingredients
- 2 tbsp of olive oil for sautéing
- 1 ¼ pounds of ground turkey for protein
- 1 onion, finely chopped for flavor
- 2 carrots, sliced into 1/4 inch rounds for a crunchy texture
- 2 celery stalks, diced for added depth
- 1 ½ cups of frozen corn kernels for sweetness
- 5 cloves of garlic, minced for a pungent kick
- 1 packet of taco seasoning mix (1 oz) for a spicy twist
- ¼ tsp of ground cumin for a warm earthy taste
- ¼ tsp of chili powder for some heat
- ¼ tsp of dried oregano for a hint of herbiness
- ½ bunch of fresh cilantro, chopped and divided for a fresh garnish
- 1 can (28 oz) of diced tomatoes with their juices
- 1 can (15 oz) of kidney beans, rinsed and drained for fiber
- 1 green chile pepper, halved lengthwise for a touch of heat
- ½ cup of sliced black olives for a briny flavor
- 3 ½ cups of chicken broth for a savory base
- 1 cup of water, or more if needed for desired consistency
- ¼ cup of lime juice for a citrusy kick
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Step 1
Begin by heating up a generous amount of olive oil in a large pot set over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and sauté it until it's nicely browned and crumbly. Once done, transfer the flavorful turkey to a waiting bowl.
Step 2
Now, in that same pot, toss in the chopped onion and cook it until it turns beautifully translucent, which should take around 5 minutes. Next up, introduce the carrots and celery, letting them cook until they become tender and release their lovely flavors, approximately 8 minutes more.
Step 3
Time to add a burst of flavors - mix in the corn, minced garlic, a delightful blend of taco seasoning, cumin, chili powder, dried oregano, and a handful of fresh cilantro. Let these ingredients mingle and infuse for a couple of minutes until the aroma fills the kitchen.
Step 4
Introduce the tomatoes, kidney beans, green chile pepper, olives, chicken broth, water, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice to the pot. Season with a pinch of salt and a sprinkle of black pepper for that perfect balance. Bring everything to a lively boil, then lower the heat to a gentle simmer for about 20 minutes to let the flavors meld beautifully.
Step 5
Before serving, remove the green chile halves, and sprinkle the remaining cilantro over the top for a fresh touch. Enjoy this hearty and flavorful dish!
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. First and foremost, always use airtight containers to store leftover soup. This will help maintain the flavors and prevent it from absorbing any odors in the fridge.
- 2. Consider portioning out individual servings of turkey taco soup in reusable containers for quick and easy grab-and-go lunches.
