SOUTHWESTERN TURKEY SOUP

Southwestern Turkey Soup image

This spicy soup is loaded with turkey, beans, corn and tomatoes. We like it really hot, so we tend to use all three tablespoons of jalapenos...and then some. It's so good on a wintry Midwestern day. -Brenda Kruse, Ames, Iowa

Ingredients

1 15 1/2-ounce can black beans, drained
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped onion
1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
1/2 garlic clove, coarsely chopped
1/8 teaspoon red-pepper flakes or jalapeno seeds

Steps:

In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade, combine beans, onion, jalapeno, garlic, red-pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Pulse until smooth and thick; add water 1 tablespoon at a time, if necessary, to reach spreadable consistency. Transfer to 1 medium bowl, and stir in cilantro.
In another bowl, gently toss avocado with lime juice to prevent browning.
