*Turkey, Ground turkey, 93% lean, 1 LB

Soup can be served with a few "natural or multigrain" tortilla chips. And to save even more calories if you are a sour cream fan when it comes to your Mexican food add a dollop of plain Greek yogurt instead and lightly sprinkle the top of that with garlic powder.

Most of the prep time is cooking the ground turkey, Brown turkey in a frying pan. Once done scoop into colander and rinse, then add to soup pot with taco seasoning and water per directions on seasoning packet. Once seasoning has cooked in add Salsa, corn and water. Open 2 can of kidney beans and a can of black beans into colander and rinse them as well. Add to soup pot and cook until beans and corn are cooked through. Garnish each bowl with 2 tablespoons of reduced fat cheddar then sprinkle with cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.

Serving Size: About 1to 1 & 1/2 cup per serving
