Make
- Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil and then onions, garlic, chopped kale stems, and tomato paste to heated oil. Saute until tender, ~3 minutes.
- Fold in seasoned ground turkey and break up with a wooden spoon. Brown meat for 4 to 6 minutes. (If you couldn’t find lean ground turkey and a lot of fat has cooked out, drain out as much fat as possible before starting next step)
- Add potatoes and chicken stock. Cover and bring to a boil and then simmer uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes, until potatoes are tender.
- While soup cooks, slice lime into wedges.
- Once potatoes are tender, fold in kale leaves and corn. Turn off heat and season to taste with salt, pepper, other spices, or even hot sauce.
- Ladle into bowls and serve with sour cream and lime wedges.

Would have preferred this with Adobo, but am on the Whole30 and couldn't find a compliant brand. Subbed a spicy chipotle salsa.
0 HelpfulSo yummy! I halved the spices because I used half chorizo, and half ground turkey. Did everything else per the recipe. Prepped all of it ahead of time, which made a quick easy meal and nearly no mess! With a ton of sour cream, my toddler even ate it!
0 HelpfulSo delicious. The adobo sauce gave it an amazing flavour! Must remember to chop the kale leaves into smaller pieces next time.
0 Helpfulfull of flavor- i skipped chili powder so more kid friendly- i have an obsession with smoked paprika! Def a remake!!!
