Mexican Soup Recipe With Ground Turkey And Green Chiles Recipe

Ingredients

1 lb. fresh ground turkey (use 1 15-oz can black beans for vegetarian)

1 onion, diced

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon chili powder- hot or mild, to taste

1 ½ cups peeled butternut squash, diced

2 large or white gold potatoes, peeled, diced

3 medium carrots, chopped

1 cup roasted chopped green chiles- mild or hot, to taste

1 quart chicken broth- or vegetable broth

Sea salt and ground pepper, to taste

Before serving:

Juice from 1 large juicy lime

2-3 tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro

1 teaspoon stevia, as needed

Preparation

First- brown the ground turkey in a skillet and pour off the fat, if any. Add the turkey to the slow cooker and add the remaining ingredients, through sea salt and ground pepper. Stir to combine. Cover and cook (on high or low) according to manufacturer’s instructions until done.

About 20 minutes before serving, stir in the lime juice and cilantro; taste test. Add a dab of sweetener, if needed, to balance the spice. If you need a tad more liquid, add more broth. Heat through.
