Savor the Smoky Turkey and Black Bean Soup: A Spicy Delight

Step 1

Begin by warming up some vegetable oil in a big pot on high heat. Add in some chopped onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper, and sauté them until they become soft and fragrant, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 2

Next, gently pour in the chicken stock and lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Stir in some vegetable juice, black beans, cooked turkey, diced tomatoes, minced garlic, a splash of fresh lemon juice, a dash of cumin, a sprinkle of chili powder, some diced jalapeno for a kick, and a pinch of salt and pepper into the pot. Increase the heat to medium and let the soup come to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for about 15 to 30 minutes, letting all the flavors blend together beautifully.

Step 3

Pro tip: Feel free to garnish your soup with some fresh cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, and a squeeze of lime juice before serving for an extra burst of flavor!
