Game night dinner, Mexican Soup

Tonight I wanted something quick and delicious to eat.

We are HUGE fans of Mexican inspired flavors and as it was

cool today with a bit of rain so I felt that soup was in order.

When I am feeling like I want flavor without a lot of time

cooking I turn to the pantry to get creative.

Recipe for Mexican ground turkey soup

1lb ground turkey

1 cup favorite jarred salsa

ground cumin , smoked paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, oregano

Mexican hot sauce, can corn, 1 cup shredded carrots (I buy the ones

already shredded from Traders joes)

2 boxes of low sodium chicken broth

Over medium-high heat....

Brown meat in large soup pot <moving it around the pan to evenly

brown while adding flavor to the pot

once browned (about 10 minutes give or take)

add corn /salsa and all the other seasonings.

(about a tsp to tbsp for each spice) see note

stir and reduce heat cooking for approximately 1 hour so the flavors have a chance to sit and meld together.

Serve with crema, avocado slices, shredded Mexican cheese, crunchy tortillas

Note: I'm big on my teaching my clients to experiment with recipes, that cooking from a recipe is a starting point and to be creative.

Use more garlic or less cumin. Add more hot sauce.

, You know what you like to eat so express that.

Especially with soup there is lots of room to experiment .
