- 4 cups (1 L) no-salt-added chicken broth

Instructions
In large pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey, garlic, onion, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper. Cook breaking up turkey with wooden spoon for 5 minutes or until no longer pink. Add peppers, carrot, broth, 1 cup (250 mL) water and tomatoes; bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until carrots are tender, about 15 minutes.
Add beans and corn; simmer for 3 minutes or until warm. Ladle soup into bowls; top with cheese and tomatoes. Serve with suggested toppings.
TIPS:
Freeze Ontario corn in the summer to enjoy year-round. This soup is a great make-ahead as the flavours develop on standing.
Reheat on medium heat, stirring occasionally. Pack any leftover soup to reheat for lunch the next day.
