Description

A comforting and creamy taco soup filled with ground turkey or chicken, beans, corn, and a blend of spices, perfect for chilly evenings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground turkey or chicken
  • 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can corn, drained
  • 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (e.g., cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground turkey or chicken over medium heat until fully cooked; it should be no longer pink in the center.
  2. Stir in the black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, and taco seasoning, mixing everything thoroughly.
  3. Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheese, cooking until the cheese is melted and the soup is heated through.

  6. Serve hot, garnished with chopped cilantro.

Notes

For added richness, whole milk can be used as a substitute for heavy cream. Consider adding extra diced tomatoes for enhanced flavor.
