Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • Kosher salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1 medium onion (chopped)
  • 3-4 garlic cloves (chopped)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 1 tsp chili powder (or to taste)
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 1 (15 oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans (rinsed and drained)

Instructions
 

  • Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a Dutch oven or a large soup pot over medium heat. Add 1 lb ground turkey, kosher salt, and pepper, and cook while mincing the meat with a wooden spoon until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Once the meat is no longer pink, stir in the chopped onion, chopped garlic, 1 1/2 tbsp taco seasoning, and 1 tsp chili powder. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes until the onion softens.
  • Add in 4 cups chicken stock, 1 (15 oz) can diced tomatoes, and 1 (15 oz) can black beans (rinsed and drained) and stir to combine all ingredients.
  • Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve the soup hot and add toppings of choice.
