1 can (15 oz) corn, drained

1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes (with green chilies, if desired)

2 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth)

1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

Optional toppings: sour cream, shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, avocado, tortilla chips

Instructions
 

Sauté the Base: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, then sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the onion is translucent.

    Cook the Turkey: Add the ground turkey to the pot. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes.

        Season the Soup: Sprinkle in the taco seasoning and mix thoroughly until everything is well combined.

          Simmer: Bring the soup to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to meld the flavors together. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.

            Serve & Enjoy: Ladle the soup into bowls, adding your choice of toppings like sour cream, shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, avocado, and tortilla chips for crunch and flavor.
