Turkey Tortilla Soup

This soup was super easy and really good!  It was perfect for using up some of our leftover turkey from Thanksgiving, but you could also just cook up your own chicken or turkey to use.  I added a bit more chili powder to make it spicier, but it was really good as is, too.  We ate it with a bit of sour cream, cheese, and tortilla chips. This one is definitely going into the regular rotation!


Turkey Tortilla Soup

  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup minced onion
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 (10.75oz) can condensed tomato soup
  • 1 (28oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 4 cups shredded cooked turkey
  • 1 Tbsp dried parsley
  • 3 chicken bouillon cubes 
  • 1 (14oz) can black beans, rinsed, drained
  • 2 cups frozen corn
1. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add minced onions and cook until onions begin to soften, about 4 minutes.  Add garlic, chili powder, cumin, and oregano and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
2. Stir in the water, tomato soup, diced tomatoes, salsa, turkey, parsley, and bouillon.  Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes or until bouillon dissolves.
3. Add black beans and corn.  Simmer 20-30 minutes
3.  Serve soup with sour cream, cheese, tortilla chips, chopped green onion, or other desired topping.
