In the same skillet, stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion is nearly translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the carrots and celery. Continue to cook and stir until tender, about 8 more minutes.
Stir in the corn, garlic, taco seasoning, cumin, chili powder, dried oregano, and about 1/4 cup cilantro along with the cooked turkey. Cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Mix in the tomatoes, kidney beans, green chile pepper, olives, chicken broth, water, and lime juice. Season with salt and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and continue to simmer for 20 minutes. Remove chile halves, and garnish with the remaining cilantro before serving.
Cook's Notes
Make this vegetarian by substituting texturized vegetable protein/Quorn(R)/Boca Burger(R) crumbles for meat, and use vegetarian broth. Cans of tomato/broth/beans are large so rather than waste parts of the cans,I choose to make a large batch of soup and freeze half of it to enjoy another week. As is the case with all great cooks, please use the chili, salt, pepper, water and lime juice to make the soup as spicy or bland as you desire. Lower the fat content by cooking onions in 2 T chicken broth and 2 teaspoons olive oil, use fat free broth and omit the dairy products.
Optional toppings include avocado slices, grated reduced fat Cheddar cheese, tortilla chips, Greek yogurt, and lime wedges.
