    List of Ingredients




    Healthy Tex-Mex Turkey Soup


    One 15-ounce can diced tomatoes
    1 small onion, quartered
    2 cloves garlic
    1/4 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    4 ounces raw, dried angel hair pasta, broken into 1" pieces
    3 cups drained, canned pinto beans
    6 cups low-sodium turkey or chicken stock
    1 1/2 cups cooked, diced turkey
    salt to taste
    freshly ground black pepper
    chopped, fresh cilantro for garnish

    Recipe





    1. In a food processor, combine the tomatoes, onion, garlic and Cajun seasonings. Process until smooth.

    2. In a heavy soup pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta starts to turn golden, about 5-7 minutes.

    3. Add the beans, tomato mixture and the chicken stock. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, until the pasta is al dente, about 5 minutes.

    4. Add the turkey and heat thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper.

    5. Ladle the soup into 6 bowls and garnish with the cilantro. Serve immediately.
