Ingredients
  

For the Soup Base
  • 1 pound Ground Turkey Provides a lean, protein-packed base perfect for a hearty soup.
  • 1 can Black Beans Adds plant-based protein and hearty texture; kidney beans can be a great alternative.
  • 1 can Corn Enhances flavor and adds a pop of color; feel free to substitute with extra beans if desired.
  • 4 ounces Cream Cheese Creates the signature creamy texture; try Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
  • 4 cups Chicken Broth Forms the comforting liquid base of the soup; use vegetable broth for a vegetarian twist.
  • 2-3 tablespoons Taco Seasoning Gives that signature zesty flavor; homemade seasoning can be tailored to your spice preference.
For Serving
  • 1 cup Sour Cream Offers a touch of creaminess and tang to each bowl; Greek yogurt is a healthier alternative.
