Cheesy Taco Soup

• 1 pound Ground Turkey
• 1 whole Onion, Diced
• 1 whole Jalapeno, Seeds Removed And Minced
• 2 Tablespoons Chili Powder
• 1 Tablespoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 1/2 teaspoons Crushed Red Pepper
• 1/2 teaspoons Oregano
• 1 can (14 1/2 Oz. Size) Diced Tomatoes
• 6 cups Chicken Broth
• 1 cup Uncooked Brown Rice
• 2 cups Milk
• 1 can (15 Oz. Size) Black Beans, Drained And Rinsed
• 2 Tablespoons Corn Starch And 1/4 Cup Water, Whisked Into A Slurry
• 3 cups Cheddar Cheese
• 1 pinch Salt To Taste
• Tortilla Chips, For Garnish

1. Brown the ground turkey over medium-high heat in a large pot. Drain any excess fat. Add the onions and jalapeno and saute 2 minutes.
2. Add in the spices, tomatoes with juice, and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer.
3. Stir in the rice. Return to a simmer, cover, and let simmer for 40 minutes. Add in the milk and beans and heat until the soup is back to a simmer.
4. Add in the corn starch and water slurry, stirring constantly while bringing the soup to a light boil. The soup should thicken with the slurry. Remove the soup from the heat and stir in the cheddar cheese. Add salt, to taste.
5. Serve with tortilla chips, to garnish.
6. Notes:
7. 1. You can also make this with ground beef but since there is so much flavor already I stuck with the ground turkey!
8. 2. Keep in mind the tortilla chips are salty so I tend to add only a little salt.
