Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Peel and mince or grate garlic. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Dice tomatoes.
• Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add turkey*, Southwest Spice Blend, salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until turkey is lightly browned and mostly cooked through, 3-5 minutes (it’ll finish cooking in the next step). • Add garlic, scallion whites, and tomato paste; cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Add diced tomatoes, stock concentrates, cream cheese, and 1½ tsp sugar (3 tsp for 8 servings) to pot with turkey mixture; stir until well combined. • Stir in beans and their liquid and 3 cups water (6 cups water for 8); bring to a simmer and cook until tomatoes are softened and turkey is cooked through, 2-3 minutes. Turn off heat. • Stir in half the Mexican cheese blend and as much hot sauce as you like; taste and season with salt and pepper.
• Divide soup between bowls; top with scallion greens and remaining Mexican cheese blend. Serve.
Ground Turkey is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

Reviews from our home cooks
Initially I thought this soup was too watery, so I allowed it to simmer quite a while, which enhanced its flavor (I only used 1/2 the hot sauce provided and added it before simmering). It reminded me of chicken tortilla soup but with ground turkey. It was very flavorful but needed something extra. I added diced avocado, the cheese it came with, and broken tortilla chips (blue chips are best). The soup was incredible. This is definitely one of my family's favorite recipes.
The turkey was ground too much and came out like paste. This gave it a very unappealing texture. We liked the big batch concept, but were not able to finish the soup because of the turkey.
This soup looks and tastes like chili. Needed more tomatoes, and tomato sauce. The soup didn't look red, more like tomato bisque. More of white in it, too much Philadelphia cream cheese. I added salsa have chopped tomatoes, onions green bell peppers in it. And I added tortilla chips make it tortilla soup. Turned out good.
Soup was great for something different, but we're feeling like EVERYTHING has scallions! And lots of salt & pepper in every step for most recipes...
I came down with a cold right before this arrived, and it really helped to have a nutritious soup that also tasted great that I could eat and recover.
Really good! I want to add bell pepper and possibly jalapeño to the soup!
Appreciate the extra portion size. Was able to get an extra meal out of it. However, was a bit thin. On the second portion size, we added some corn. Might want to consider an additional agreement for the receipe.
Great flavors!! Well liked by the family. We would have liked some tortilla chips to sprinkle on top with the cheese.
Easy to pull together and very tasty. Plenty for leftovers.
Easy. Tasty. One pot to clean. What else is there to see.
