2 cups beef stock (<1g carbs=2 Condiments)

*Water can be added if desired to make a soup more than a stew             

Brown the turkey meat in the oil then add the diced peppers and celery plus seasonings until tender. Add the Scallions and tomatoes. Reduce heat to a simmer for 15 minutes. Stir in the 3 ounces reduced-fat Fiesta Cheese blend (1/2 Lean)

*TOMATO BISQUE TACO SOUP: Boil 6 ounces water and dissolve a packet of Tomato Basil Bisque. Let set while you cook the Taco Soup. Mix the prepped Bisque in with one serving of the taco soup from the recipe above. Reserve 1/4 of this combination for a later fueling and have 3/4 now as your Lean and Green.
