TURKEY TORILLA SOUP

Yield
2-4

Prep Time
15 MINS

Cook Time
10 MINS

  1. 4 cups homemade turkey broth (or chicken broth)
  2. 2 large garlic cloves
  3. 1 to 2 tablespoons chipotle chiles in adobo sauce or homemade chili puree
  4. 2 small carrots, peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces
  5. 1 1/2 cups cooked, shredded turkey or chicken meat
  6. 1 lime, juiced
  7. Salt and pepper to taste

To Garnish

  1. Diced avocado
  2. Crumbled tortilla chips
  3. Fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
  4. Lime wedges
  5. Crumbled queso fresco

directions

  1. In a medium-sized pot or Dutch oven, bring the broth to a gentle simmer. While it heats, combine the garlic with 1 to 2 tablespoons of chipotle chiles (including some of their sauce) in a food processor or with a mortar and pestle. Blend until a smooth paste forms. For a milder flavor, start with about ½ tablespoon of the chipotle mixture and adjust to taste.
  2. Whisk the chipotle-garlic paste into the simmering broth. Add the carrots and cook for 10–15 minutes, or until they become tender but still have a slight bite. Stir in the turkey and lime juice, then continue to simmer just until the turkey is thoroughly heated.
  3. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot and garnish as desired.
