Taco Tuesday Soup

Well readers, my absolute favorite season is upon us! Yes, I'm of course talking about fall! Snuggly sweaters, warm scarves, cloudy skies and cozy teas and cuddly days. Oh, and soups and stews. 

This recipe I adapted from my Sissy's recipe for Taco Soup. The best part about this recipe? You make it in a slow cooker. The only effort required is browning the turkey and opening the cans. 

Taco Soup 

2 Tbsp olive oil 

1/4 yellow onion, diced 

1 garlic clove, minced 

1/2 lb ground turkey

1/2 Tbsp Mexican oregano 

1/2 tbsp red chile powder 

1/2 tbsp onion powder 

1/2 tbsp garlic powder 

Salt and pepper, to taste 

1 can diced tomatoes with chiles, not drained

1 can fiesta corn, drained

1 can black beans, drained

1 can white kidney beans, drained 

2 C chicken stock 

In a skillet over medium heat, sauté onion and garlic in oil until onions are translucent. Add turkey and cook until brown. 

In your favorite 6 or 8 quart slow cooker, combine all canned goods, turkey mixture and stock. 

Turn your slow cooker on low and cook for 6-8 hours. 

Garnish with shredded cheddar cheese  and/or sour cream and serve with tortilla chips! If you like a little extra spice, as Nate and I do, throw some pickled jalapeños on top and enjoy!

Enjoy the Taco Soup and enjoy your fall, readers!
