Mexican soup.

Rainy afternoon here in Pennsylvania which makes me immediately think of making soup. I was going to be busy with appointments later in the day and this is a great recipe to make and just let simmer until dinnertime.

Ingredients:
2 tsp of olive oil
1 lb of lean ground turkey
1 yellow pepper, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
1 medium sized yellow onion, chopped
1 jalapeño, diced
1 28 oz can of chopped tomatoes
2 c of chicken broth
1/2 c of water
1 can of red beans, with liquid
1 c of corn, frozen or drained from a can
2 tsp of cumin
1/2 tsp of smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

In you large Dutch oven, heat the olive oil and add the ground turkey, onion and peppers. Breaking the meat apart and stirring until no longer pink, about 10-12 minutes. Then add the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil and then turn down to a simmer and cover. Serve with chopped red onions, sliced jalapeños, cheddar cheese or a dollop of sour cream.
