Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Peel and mince or grate garlic. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Dice tomato.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large 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 tomato, stock concentrates, cream cheese, and ¾ tsp sugar (1½ tsp for 4 servings) to pot with turkey mixture; stir until well combined. • Stir in half the beans and their liquid and 1½ cups water (all the beans and their liquid and 3 cups water for 4); bring to a simmer and cook until tomato is softened, 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°.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many enjoyed the taste, though some found it bland; adding extra spices, hot sauce, or veggies boosted flavor 🌶️.
- Ease of prep: Quick, easy, and perfect for weeknights; several appreciated the one-pot convenience.
- Suggestions: Consider adding tortilla chips, sour cream, or avocado for crunch and creaminess. Use all beans for heartier texture.
- Leftovers: Some found it reheated well; others preferred it fresh or thought it made great nachos.
- Texture: A few wanted a thicker consistency; reducing liquid or adding flour helped achieve desired thickness.
- Variations: Try swapping turkey for beef or pork, or adding corn, peppers, or rice for more substance.
Reviews from our home cooks
Super tasty, very quick to prep and make and I loved that it was in one pot. Would absolutely make again!!
I wish the beans provided was properly portioned. Now I have a half container of beans I don't need. Also, the soup was rather bland without the hot sauce. The whole dish pretty much needed the hot sauce to be flavorful. But it was tasty.
Would suggest including some sour cream and just letting the 2 serving soup include the whole can of beans (I did, it was great).
I like that it had both meat and beans. Some of the other soups only have one.
This seemed like a watered-down chili - like it just should have been Chili instead of soup. However that might have been my own fault because I only cooked one pack of turkey and totally forgot about the other pack! Would love to try it again properly!
A very good, hearty soup! A small bag of blue chips would have been a nice plus.
Added brown rice and used the full can of kidney beans to make a 3 serving meal; replaced southwest spice with Dash SW spice (no sodium) to make the dishes lower sodium.
I think a pepper added would make the soup even better.
Fabulous, filling, delicious soup, made a small side salad to go with it
So easy to cook. We loved the option to spice things up and felt like there was lots of soup for seconds.
