Cathy Smith of Amarillo, Texas shares a stick-to-the-ribs family pleaser. “Chunky and cheesy, this rich creamy soup is simply wonderful during cold winter months,” she notes. TASTY TIP: If your family prefers a “Cheeseburger Soup” flavor, substitute lean ground beef for the ground turkey.
Ingredients:
1 pound lean ground turkey
3/4 cup chopped onion
4 cups diced peeled potatoes
4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
3/4 cup shredded carrots
3/4 cup diced celery
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1-1/2 cups fat-free milk
6 ounces reduced-fat process cheese (velveeta), cubed
1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
Directions:
1. In a nonstick skillet, cook turkey and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add the potatoes, broth, carrots, celery, salt, basil, parsley and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
2. In a small bowl, combine flour and milk until smooth; stir into soup. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat to low; add the cheese. Cook and stir until cheese is melted. Remove from the heat; stir in sour cream. Yield: 10 servings.
