It is a dreary and rainy day today. It's crazy to think it is only September and it is this chilly. Last night I made a loaf of homemade honey wheat bread so soup and grilled cheese sounded perfect for tonight. This recipe is delicious and very easy to put together. The original recipe idea comes from http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=1004066
This is a very healthy meal loaded with fiber and lean protein. I think you will truly enjoy this soup recipe. :)
Crockpot Spicy Turkey Taco Soup
Serves 8 (1 1/2 cup servings)
Ingredients:
1 pound Honeysuckle White ground turkey breast (99% fat free)
1 sweet onion - diced
1 medium green bell pepper - diced
1 can reduced sodium pinto beans - drained
1 can reduced sodium black beans - drained
1 can Green Giant reduced sodium corn - drained (or use 1 1/2 cups frozen corn)
1 can original rotel
1 can Del Monte diced tomatoes - do not drain
4 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon ground cumin
McCormick taco seasoning 33% reduced sodium - I use the whole packet but the recipe calls for 1/2 a packet
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon oregano
Directions:
-In a skillet, add onion and ground turkey and season
-Brown turkey meat until its done
-In a crockpot, add your bell pepper, pinto beans, black beans, corn, rotel, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and all seasonings.
-Add in your turkey and onion mixture and stir until the entire contents are combined
-Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours
*Add ins:
-Once you scoop some soup into a bowl, feel free to top it with some low fat sour cream, reduced fat shredded cheese, chopped green onions, or some crushed tortilla chips.
*Optional:
-Feel free to use ground beef or shredded chicken breasts instead of ground turkey. This is a recipe that you can change up to your preference.
-A crockpot doesn't have to be used for this soup recipe. Just put everything in a large pot and bring to a boil and then simmer for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Enjoy! :)
