Turkey Chili Soup

With fall being my favorite season, whipping up a big batch of soup for the week is perfect for my taste buds, my budget, and my schedule. This recipe was quick to mix up and lasted several days for my lunches. I think the soup is a shining star all on it's own, but my boyfriend prefers to eat it over a fresh bowl of rice to make it a little more filling.Either way, this dish is a crowd pleaser for the entire household. I'm also a little bit of a wimp when it comes to spicy food so please feel free to add more spices and season it to your taste buds.
