Turkey Chorizo Soup
with kale, potatoes, and corn
We love any opportunity to cook a soup - they're filling, full of comfort, and fairly simple to make. This one was featured the week of 1/4/16 and has been one of our recent faves, so we're bringing it back.
Smarts: If you're limited in spices and want a shortcut, you can also purchase chorizo from your meat counter.

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.

Have made one time with turkey and spices, one time with real chorizo. Delicious both ways!
0 HelpfulDidn't have kale so I used spinach. A little too spicy for the kids, but hubby and I loved it!
0 HelpfulPacked a great flavor punch - yummy! Turkey chorizo felt very lean and a little tough. I think I overworked it mixing in the spices.
