I made this one night as an experiment and it turned out pretty good. Ingredients:
6 ounces turkey sausage, sliced |
1 red bell pepper, diced |
1 (15 ounce) can chicken broth, fat free |
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained |
1 (15 ounce) can tomatoes, diced |
1/4 cup red onion, diced |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 chipotle pepper, minced |
1/4 teaspoon cumin |
salt |
pepper |
Directions:
1. Spray a soup pan with cooking spray and bring up to medium high heat. Add onions and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the sausage and cook for another two minutes. Add the bell pepper and garlic. Cook an additional 2 minutes.
2. Add the broth, cumin, and tomatoes. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add chipotle and beans. Cook covered for about 10 minutes.
3. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
4. Serve with a sprinkle of Cilantro or some fat free sour cream.
5. **Variation Idea: I have tried this as a smooth soup - brown off the turkey in a separate pan, following all of the other directions up until the point the beans are added. I use a hand held blender to blend up the soup. Afterwards I add the turkey and some additional beans to give a little texture.
