Instructions
Instructions
Drain and rinse the 3 (15.8 oz) cans Great Northern beans and set aside.
In a large stockpot, heat 1 Tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add 1 large diced onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes or until the onions are light brown.
Add 1 Tablespoon chili powder, 1 Tablespoon minced garlic, and 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin; sauté and stir about 30–60 seconds until fragrant and well combined with the onions.
Stir in 1 teaspoon oregano and the rinsed and drained beans.
Pour in 4 cups broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat if needed and simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add 3 cups cooked chopped turkey and cook just until heated through, about 3–5 minutes.
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in 1 Roma tomato (diced and seeded) and 1/3 cup cilantro.
Taste and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve hot, garnished as desired with additional diced tomatoes, cilantro, and a lime wedge; squeeze the lime into each serving if you like.

Notes
If you would like to make this soup creamy, remove about two cups of the beans and broth, blend until creamy and return to pan before adding the turkey.
Chicken can be substituted for cooked Turkey.
