This easy turkey vegetable soup recipe is both satisfying and low calorie making it a perfect choice year round.
Ground Turkey Vegetable Soup
A nice pot of low calorie Turkey Vegetable Soup is a hearty way to keep the calories down. The soup is a budget friendly choice too
While I've made the recipe with ground turkey, you could do it with chopped leftover cooked turkey breast, as well. Just skip the saute step. The broth of this turkey vegetable soup is richly flavored with the addition of crushed tomato.
Spicy or Not
Now if you are not a hot and spicy lover, don't worry. The hot sauce in this recipe adds a subtle kick it is not particularly hot at all. I just accented the flavor of the soup with it, since more can be splashed in at serving time. Skip it entirely if you prefer.
Try serving this soup with Cajun Chicken Open Faced Sandwich Appetizers or a Chicken Pasta Salad.

I'm not into spicy food much as I used to be, but this sounds really good. It looks amazing, too!

I love little spice in my meals, and Texas Pete's sounds like the right way to get it. I'm so ready to start making soup and other yummy cold-weather food. Your turkey & veggie tomato soup looks incredible!
Tiff @ Babes and Kids says
I love comfort foods but don't love all of the calories that they come with. This is a nice alternative. I don't think the kids would eat it with the hot sauce but hubby and I would be all over it!

I am so excited for fall to get here for meals like this one. I love soups and stews but cannot handle eating them in the summer.
This looks almost like Chili, and I want to try it!
Jennifer @ Mom Spotted says
Mmmmmmm! I love soup! My oldest loves anything hot so we'll have to try this!
Sarah @ Must Have Mom says
Mmm, this looks hearty. I've had Texas Pete's before and loved it. I'd probably spice it up ALOT after it's done.
