Turkey Taco Soup


This recipe is a favorite in our house, is SUPER easy and a huge hit with my husband who claims not to even like soup! 


What you need:
  • 1 pkg ground turkey (we can only find them in 1.25lb pkgs.)
  • 1 pkg of taco seasoning
  • 1 pkg of ranch seasoning
  • 1 large can (28oz.) of no salt added diced tomatoes (we prefer the 'petite' style)
  • 1 can of pinto beans, or cannellini beans (drained & rinsed well)
  • 'some' frozen corn
  • reduced-sodium chicken broth

What you do:

- Cook the turkey meat until no longer pink.
- Add the seasoning & ranch mix and coat meat well.
- Add tomatoes & beans, and as much corn as you like. 
- Add chicken broth to thin some to preferred consistency.
- Serve with your favorite cheese & tortilla chips. 

Servings:
The recipe listed serves 2 adults and 1 toddler and provides enough leftovers for to make lunch for 2.

*** Double the recipe and freeze for an even easier meal next month!!  ***


Variations:
- If you don't mind larger tomatoes in your soup, try the Mexican style stewed tomatoes.
- If you can find it in your store (ours doesn't always carry it) there is frozen Mexican corn mix that includes black beans, onions, and peppers.
- Once we use up our stock of 'packaged' taco seasoning, we will be making our own homemade version.  Allrecipes.com has a standard recipe HERE.
