Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 lb ground turkey
1/3 cup plain bread crumbs
1 egg
1 tablespoon Old El Paso™ original taco seasoning mix (from 1-oz package)
1 clove finely chopped garlic
1/4 cup diced onion
1/4 cup finely diced seeded jalapeño chile (or green bell pepper)
1 clove finely chopped garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 carton (32 oz) Progresso™ chicken broth
1 cup canned Muir Glen™ Organic Diced Tomatoes Fire Roasted
1 1/2 teaspoons Old El Paso™ original taco seasoning mix (from 1-oz package)
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Crushed tortilla chips, chopped fresh cilantro, diced avocado, shredded cheese, chopped jalapeño chiles, sour cream and lime wedges

Steps:

  • In medium bowl, mix meatball ingredients until combined. Refrigerate mixture 15 to 30 minutes to firm up.
  • Meanwhile, in 6-quart (or larger) saucepan, cook first 4 soup ingredients over medium heat about 5 minutes or until vegetables begin to soften. Add chicken broth, diced tomatoes and 1 1/2 teaspoons taco seasoning mix. Heat to boiling; reduce to simmering. Simmer 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, shape meatball mixture into teaspoon-sized balls. Drop balls into simmering soup, one at a time, and continue to simmer about 15 minutes longer or until meatballs are cooked through. Turn off heat, and stir in lime juice before serving in bowls with lots of toppings.
