Ground Turkey Taco Soup

I made this with mainly organic ingredients and it was so tasty and healthy. Try not to take seconds (and thirds!)


       2 tablespoons olive oil

       
1 1/4 pounds ground turkey

       
1 onion, chopped

       
1 carrot, cut into 1/4 inch rounds

       
2 stalks celery, chopped

1/2 of a red pepper, chopped

       
1 1/2 cups canned corn

       
5 cloves garlic, minced

       
1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning mix

       
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

       
1 teaspoon chili powder

       
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

       
1/2 bunch chopped fresh cilantro, divided

       
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice

       
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained

       
1 jalapeño, seeded and halved lengthwise

       
3 1/2 cups chicken broth

       
1 cup water, or more as needed

       
juice of 1/2 a lime

       
salt and ground black pepper to taste 

        1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat and stir in the ground turkey. Cook and stir until the turkey is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink. Transfer turkey to a bowl; set aside.

       2. In the same skillet, stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion is  softened. Add the carrots, celery and pepper. Continue to cook and stir until tender.

       3. Stir in the corn, garlic, taco seasoning, cumin, chili powder, dried oregano, and about 1/4 cup cilantro along with the cooked turkey. Cook and stir until fragrant.

         4. Rinse kidney beans. Mix in the tomatoes, kidney beans, jalapeño pepper, chicken broth, water, and lime juice.  Season with salt and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and continue to simmer for 20 minutes. Remove jalapeño halves, and garnish with the remaining cilantro before serving.
