Turkey Sweet Potato Soup with Rice

A hearty, well-seasoned soup with ground turkey, chunks of sweet potato, and rice. This easy and filling soup is perfect for cold nights and can be made in about 35 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1/2 cup uncooked rice
  • 6 cups chicken broth

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large stock pot over medium-high heat. When hot, add the ground turkey and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently and breaking up the meat into smaller chunks until browned.
  2. Add the chopped onion, kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, coriander, and cumin. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the onions are softened.
  3. Stir in the sweet potato chunks and rice, cooking for 1 minute.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
  5. Reduce heat to maintain a gentle boil, partially cover the pot, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is cooked and sweet potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally and add more broth if needed.

Notes

This soup is gluten-free and can be adjusted by adding more broth if it thickens too much during cooking. It is best served hot and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
