Ingredients
- 1 pound Lean ground turkey (99% fat-free)
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 can (10-ounce) Diced tomatoes with green chilies (like Rotel), undrained
- 1 can (15-ounce) Crushed tomatoes
- 1 can (15-ounce) Black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15-ounce) Pinto beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup Corn kernels (frozen or canned, drained)
- 4 cups Low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 package (1 ounce) Taco seasoning mix (low-sodium)
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lime wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the lean ground turkey and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Break the meat into crumbles as it cooks.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
Stir in the taco seasoning mix, cumin powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices and enhance the flavors.
Pour in the can of diced tomatoes with green chilies, crushed tomatoes, drained and rinsed black beans, pinto beans, and corn kernels. Stir until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Add the chicken broth to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and let it cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add more salt, pepper, or spices to suit your preference.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, if desired. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra citrusy kick.
Enjoy your Weight Watchers Taco Bean Soup as a hearty, healthy meal!
