Turkey Chili Taco Soup
This quick turkey chili taco soup satisfies my soup cravings, takes just 20 minutes to cook but it tastes like it was simmering for hours! Top it with your favorite chili toppings such as sour cream, cheese or whatever you like for a healthy meal that can be prepped for the week or frozen for another night.
When I worked full time in the city, on those occasions I don’t bring leftovers for lunch at work, I always bought the Turkey Chili Soup from Fresh and Co. This homemade version is just as good, and so much cheaper than buying it! Light, healthy and super filling!
Now I know I have quite a few chili recipes on my site, but this one is perfect when you need a quick meal. Adapted from my friend Julia’s recipe, of Julia’s Healthy Italian Cooking. She’s an amazing cook, a working mother of four, and always cooks her family quick healthy meals made from scratch.
When reheating, to thin it out simply add more broth or water.

Wow! So yummy and easy. I did sub a poblano and a small jalapeño for the bell pepper because we like a little more heat. I love how you used refried beans!
Omg!! This soup was delicious!! I’m not a huge ground turkey fan, but let me tell younow I am! Only thing I added was fresh garlic with my zester. Also, I sautéed veggies firstand added chop meat to cook after with veggies. When it was done added some low fat cheddar to my bowl.Unbelievably good! You will not be disappointed with this recipe!
Question on the refried beans fat free
I looked at my grocery store and the closest I could find was Old El Paso which was 0.5 total fat for 1/2 cup and 0 sat fat for that serving size.
If I use nutritional label entry (which counts the beans which should be zero) it would add 8+ points to the recipe total.
What brand do you find that is fat free or is that close enough to be considered fat free?
Trader Joe’s has a 0 pt fat free refried beans
Rosarita refried beans has a non fat option too. I believe old El Paso does as well.
Kroger has Fat Free Refried Beans
This soup is SO GOOD, just like every recipe I cook from Skinnytaste!!!! Everyone in my house loved it! I made my own refried beans (can of pinto beans, 1 clove of garlic, a teaspoon of olive oil, cumin and a splash of lime juice) and I used homemade taco seasoning. I also added 2 tablespoons of cilantro paste because I LOVE cilantro. The cilantro made the soup tasty and really pretty with the flecks of green. This will definitely be in the fall and winter rotation! Thanks Gina!
I make a lot of your recipes (at least 3 a week) and this is by far one of my favorites! Super filling, delicious, and the kids loved it too! Definitely going to be a staple in our house!
How many teaspoons or tablespoons for the taco seasoning? I don’t use packets. Thank you!
It ends up being about a teaspoon and a half I believe.
Delicious, easy, and freezer friendly! Couldn’t ask for a better week-night (or any night!) meal! I made this for my husband and myself last night and we both thought it was excellent. I can’t wait to have it for lunch the rest of the week!
My husband doesn’t like ground turkey or beans. He loved the soup! I used the retried beans but left out the other beans. After his second bowl I told him what Was in it. He declared the recipe a keeper!
This is soooooo goooooooood! Everyone absolutely loved it! Even my very picky sister! I use alot of these recipes for my weight watchers diet and this one hits the top of the list! Surely a keeper
Double the meat and add two packages of seasoning.
For someone who doesn’t like beans, this was really good!! I blended the kidney beans down to a paste and added a bit more heat with a Jalapeno. This is definitely going in to the regular rotation.
This is a fabulous recipe…flavorful, easy to make and no points. Heaven in a bowl!
When I put the nutritional information in my WW recipe builder it came up as 5 points. Any idea why? It really is delicious!
Looks delicious! Can you make this using the slow cooker?
My husband HATES soup. Convincing him to eat this wasn’t easy, but we’re both glad that I persisted. He loves it! We mix the cheese and sourcream into the entire soup prior to serving. It’s amazing !
No reason to change a thing. Lots of flavor, perfect goodness to liquid ratio.! Thanks to you!
Made this last night and it was delicious! I couldn’t find 99% fat free ground turkey at our local store but using 93% only made the recipe a 3 SP meal on WW which I think is great. It was so easy and quick such a great weeknight recipe, Not too spicy, but plenty of heat to satisfy my husband who loves spicy food. This a definite keeper! Thank you so much.I
Just started WW today and made this for my family! It’s delicious and filling and will be making it again next week!Thank you!
Has anyone used black beans instead of retried beans? Wondering if it stil tastes great.
Yes I have. Also if I don’t have refried beans on hand, I add another can of kidney beans.
What if you skip the refried beans? This looks amazing and I really want to make it, but the refried beans part I’m
Not wild about.
The refried beans kind of act as a thickener, so if you like really thin soup you could omit. Another option would be buzzing a second can of kidney beans or black beans in the blender and adding for thickness.
hi so i was wondering about this recipe being 0 points on ww.when i calculated it came up anywhere between 3-5 pts per serving.Its an awsome recipe dont get me wrong.
This soup is fantastic and 0000 WW points to boot! I am a garlic lover❤️❤️❤️ so I had to add a couple of cloves.Thanks Skinnytaste
I made this just as written and it was AMAZING! I’m in an Airbnb so I don’t have a lot of extras to work with but this chili was so good and definitely will make again. YUM!!!
Thank you, Gina! Love this recipe and the zero points!
Cannot begin to explain how delicious and filling this is! I absolutely love this, my husband did too! Will definitely make it again.
You said this was a 0 point Freestyle WW recipe but when you add up the nutrition information it is 6 its not 0. Please explain.It’s a great recipe but not a 0 zero point one.
Would it work to substitute tofu for the ground turkey?
Turned out so good! I was really worried putting refried beans in a soup but wow it’s great!
I made this tonight. I don’t like kidney beans so I used lentils. It’s so good! My hubby ate 2 big bowls and said I should make it often.
So we tried this last night, myself, my husband two teenage boys & a 5 year old…everyone loved it. Perfect recipe!
Great dinner on a rainy night. My husband and I really enjoy a good taco soup, and this did not disappoint. Love that it is zero points on weight watchers.
So good! I made it in the Instant Yummy!
This was easy and delicious! 22 g of protein per serving! MY husband loved it too!
It I sure so delishous and easy to make ,very filling.thanks for the recipe
AMAZING!!!! This soup was so delicious! Will definitely be adding into my recipe rotation. I used 93/7 ground turkey which adds points (if you’re following WW) but you absolutely cant go wrong with this recipe. So flavorful and filling.
Hi I have a question. what does a can of refried beans do for this soup? will it thicken it, never heard of this. can you let me know/ thank you
Perfect.
Can this be made in a slow cooker?
Sure
I put everything in recipe creator and mine came up tp 2 pt. per serving. Even for 2 points it is delish!
Our entire family LOVES this soup, year round. Easy, usually have all the ingredients in my cupboard. Two of our grown up kids and their families had it last weekend. It is addictive!
Is this. Zero points. I keep reading that others say it ranges from 2-6 points.
Delicious. Easy, quick and flavorful.
Once again I have made the Turkey Taco Chili Soup. It is a favorite and every time I make, I’m always so excited —- even though I know the taste —- it is soooo goood. So warm, so much comfort in a bowl!! Thanks, again, Gina!!!
It turned out fantastic! I personally think most Chilis are simply too thick and don’t have an interesting taste. FYI…I did add one tablespoon of chili powder to the entire batch to zing it up a bit.
I’m not surprised it was delicious!! We love all your recipes!
Thank you Linda!
I love this soup. I am doing Keto and have tried not adding beans but it’s not as good. Going to cut back on the beans a little.
This chili is SO GOOD. I’ve been making it about once a month for my family for about 2 years now. They love it. Over time I’ve made it my own by using 2 cans of kidney beans, omitting the broth (we like it thicker) and using 2 packs of taco seasoning. Sometimes I sub regular ground turkey for Jennie-O taco flavor ground turkey and use only 1 pack of seasoning.
