We had mojo turkey left over from Thanksgiving and I wanted to make a soup.
Typically I use carrots, celery, onion and white beans with poultry seasoning. This time I decided to kick it up a notch because I had cubanelle peppers from my CSA and the mojo turkey. It was a really nice change to my typical way. I loved the spices with it!

I know it sounds like I lot of ingredients but once I got the prep work out of the way it was easy. I pre-chopped all the veggies and put them in a big bowl, opened the cans and lined those up and mixed my spices in a small bowl. This way I wasn’t scrambling around as I made the soup.
Ingredients
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 cubanelle peppers, seeded and chopped
1 sweet potato, chopped
1 cup chopped carrots
2 onions, diced
2 ribs celery, diced
1 cup corn kernels (I used left over grilled corn)
5 cups cooked turkey, cubed (Mojo rotisserie chicken can also be used here)
1 cup corn kernels (I used left over grilled corn)
5 cups cooked turkey, cubed (Mojo rotisserie chicken can also be used here)
8 cups chicken broth
6 bay leaves
1/8 tsp ground cloves
1 1/2 Tbsp chili powder
1 1/2 Tbsp paprika
1 1/2 Tbsp cumin
Salt and Pepper, to taste
Directions
1. Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a large dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the peppers through celery and cook until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients, bring to a boil then decrease heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Discard bay leaves and serve.
LOVE the combination of flavors and ingredients that you have in this soup! Using a can of beans & rice was a great shortcut idea.
That is definitely taking it up a notch! Wow, that soup looks out of this world. And I mean that as a compliment, not implying that it looks as if it came from space, but rather that it looks incredibly good.
Yes that's the right way when you use too many veggies. Sometimes I do it but other times I just improvise as I go along. This soup looks delicious.
Living in Texas now, I'm all about adding southwest flavors to just about everything! My husband adores beans, so I know that this would make him a happy man. This is a great bowl of soup loaded with veggies and yummy spices. Thank you for sharing with me. I hope you are having a joy-filled afternoon!
I can't wait to try this soup…it looks delish! I love the sweet potato in the soup, I bet it adds a wonderful sweet richness to the spicy/salty flavors.
This sounds so incredibly tasty! I love all the warm spices you've used and the beans to make it hearty and healthy! Delicious!
Yum! Your soup looks rather pretty – and deliciously comforting too.
Ooh! That looks amazing! You were pretty gutsy making mojo turkey for Thanksgiving! Definitely a departure from the traditional turkey. I still have a tiny bit of leftover turkey, so I'll have to try making this one
Way to try something new! And…I have another tech question for you – how do you get that printable page? Looks like it's automatically created?
