Instructions
Brown the turkey
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add ground turkey and diced onion. Cook until the turkey is fully cooked, breaking it up as it browns. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Season the base
- Add taco seasoning, cumin, and chili powder. Stir well and cook for 1 minute to bloom the spices.
Add soup ingredients

Simmer
- Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste and adjust

Serve
- Ladle into bowls and top with your favorite toppings before serving.
Notes
- For a creamier turkey taco soup, stir in ½ cup cream cheese or Greek yogurt at the end.
- This soup thickens as it sits—add extra broth when reheating if needed.
- Great for meal prep and freezer-friendly.
