Mexican Turkey Vegetable Soup

Ingredients:

1 - onion, chopped
2 - large carrots, peeled and sliced
2 - stalks celery, chopped
3 - cloves garlic, minced or pressed
2 - mirlitons (chayote squash), chopped
8oz. - cooked leftover chicken or turkey, chopped
8 cups - chicken broth (or water and bouillon)
2 - cans diced tomatoes
1/2 tsp. - chili powder (more or less to taste)
1/2 tsp. - cumin (more or less to taste)
1/2 tsp. - turmeric (more or less to taste)
cilantro (I use dried)
1/8 c. - lime juice



Instructions:

Saute all veggies in a soup pot until they are just starting to soften. Add chicken, broth, canned tomatoes and chili, cumin and turmeric. Stir, cover and simmer until veggies are tender. Sprinkle cilantro and stir in lime juice. Adjust spices to taste. Enjoy! Sorry my spice measurements are kind of vague. I had a tiny helper in the kitchen and I don't know how much she added before I noticed her helping Mommy!
