Mexican Meatball Soup


Made this soup last night for dinner....DELISH!! I found the recipe in Real Simple and altered it a bit.

1 lb ground turkey
1/2 c chopped chives
1c crushed tortilla chips
1/3 c chopped, fresh cilantro
1T taco seasoning
salt and pepper
3 c fresh salsa
3 t chicken base
1 avocado cut into small pieces


Mix turkey, chives, tortilla chips, cilantro, taco seasoning, salt and pepper and form into balls. Place on cookie sheet and broil about 8 minutes.
In blender puree the salsa with one cup water and chicken base. Put mixture into saucepan with an additional 2c water and bring to boil. Add meatballs, reduce heat and simmer for a couple minutes. Serve with avocado, cilantro, and tortilla chips. YUMMY!!
