Soup in 30 minutes?
Yes, this soup takes only 30 minutes to make! From browning the ground turkey (or beef, bison, or chicken) to serving it up, you’ll need only 30 minutes. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve made this dinner for my family. Every time I make it, they eat it right up and ask for seconds.
Can I make this soup Whole30?
Absolutely you can make this taco soup Whole30-friendly. There are so many recipes you can turn into a Whole30 meal with swapping out just a few ingredients. For this soup, the only ingredient you’ll need to swap out is the corn. Ditch the corn and add some chopped zucchini or diced carrots, or even a handful of kale instead. Basically choose your favorite vegetable and swap it in place of the corn. All the other ingredients are compliant so you’re good to go!
