Turkey Chili Taco Soup

I had planned on making this for dinner last night, but when I walked in the door it was already made! It was so easy Derek made it while I was at the gym! I was blown away at how good it was. Derek loved it and so did our picky 2 year old!


What You'll Need:

1.3 lbs 99% lean ground turkey
1 medium onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
10 oz can rotel tomatoes with green chilies
15 oz canned or frozen corn, drained
15 oz kidney beans, drained
8 oz tomato sauce
16 oz fat free refried beans
1 packet taco seasoning (you can use 40& less sodium)
2 1/2 cups fat free low sodium chicken broth

In a large pot, brown turkey on medium heat, breaking up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. When cooked through, add onions and pepper and cook 2-3 minutes. Add tomatoes, corn, beans, tomato sauce, refried beans, taco seasoning and chicken broth. Bring to a boil and simmer about 10-15 minutes.

*For a thinner soup add more broth, or you can leave the broth out and you have yourself a bowl of chili.

I had mine with a few whole wheat crackers crushed in, a little reduced fat cheese, and a smidge of low fat sour cream. Sour cream in any type of chili is my new fave, it's amazing! You can also serve with your favorite toppings such as jalapeños, onions, or fresh cilantro. Freeze leftovers in individual portions for future meals


And my favorite part...look how low fat it is: !!!

Servings: 9 • Size: 1-1/4 cups • Calories: 198.8 • Fat: 1.4 g • Carb: 29.7 g • Fiber: 7.0 g • Protein: 19.5 g

Cleanse update: I gained 4lbs. back. I kind of figured that would happen :/
