Ingredients

    Raw Carrot - 184 grams
    Raw Yellow Bell Pepper -85 grams
    White Onion (caramelized) 156 grams
    Raw Potatoes - 255 gram
    Low Sodium Chicken stock- 8 cups
    Fresh Ginger -.5 tsp
    Garlic clove- 2
    Dried Black Beans - 284 grams
    Ground Turkey - 454 grams
    Cilantro - 5 tbsp ( or as needed)
    Jerk spices - as needed
    Salt - as needed
    Pepper - as needed
    Garnish with parmesan cheese and sour cream if desired

Tips

Remember check your chicken stock before adding your ingredients. If your stock has no flavor your soup will lack flavor. Also make sure to remove as much fat from your stock so your soup does not have a greasy finish! This is a great soup to make in a large batch and freeze in smaller batches and take out when you need a quick meal.


Directions

-Soak black beans in water overnight
-Season ground turkey with Jerk Rub ---Brown meat and set aside
-Caramelize onions and set aside
- Dice all vegetables to about 1/4" cubes. Basically all your vegetables need to be what I like to call soup size. Small enough that they fit on your spoon but not not so small that they disappear in the soup
-Chop ginger in to fine slices. If you like chunck of ginger leave he slices a bit larger
- Smash garlic slightly. Do not chop your garlic or smash it to much as you want the flavor to come alive in the soup
-Combine all of the ingredients in to your crock pot and season with salt and pepper if necessary. Depending on your time available- both low or high heat are options. Typically about 5 hours on low and about 2 1/2 on high. You want to make sure your vegetables and beans are fully cooked and soft.
- Once soup is ready portion into bowls and garnish with Parmesan cheese, sour cream and cilantro if desired.
