Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion chopped
  • 2 cups diced green bell pepper
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 4 cloves garlic minced or grated
  • 2 whole chipotle peppers in adobo sauce seeded and minced
  • 3 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 32 ounces chicken stock
  • 2 (14 ounce) cans fire roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can red kidney beans rinsed and drained
  • 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles
  • 2 cups frozen sweet corn kernels
  • For topping - shredded cheese Greek yogurt, minced cilantro or tortilla chips

Instructions

  • Add olive oil to a 5-quart soup pot and set over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the onion starts to turn translucent.
  • Add in the ground turkey, garlic cloves, minced chipotle peppers, chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika and dried oregano. Break down the turkey with a spatula into small pieces and stir to combine to make sure the spices are equally coating the meat and vegetables. Cook for about 10 minutes to help brown the meat.
  • Add in the chicken stock, diced tomatoes with their juice, black beans, red kidney beans, diced green chiles and corn kernels. Stir to combine.
  • Let simmer over medium heat for about 35 minutes or until thick and flavorful.
  • If desired, top with shredded cheese, sour cream, Greek yogurt, minced cilantro and tortilla chips.

Notes

  • Topping ideas: shredded cheese, sour cream, Greek yogurt, green onions, diced yellow onion, or tortilla chips. 
  • Use ground chicken in place of ground turkey.
