Temperatures are staying UNDER 80 degrees here… which means it’s ALL SOUP ALL THE TIME!! (The Vermonter in me is a bit ashamed, oh well)! And these days there’s rarely a Sunday where you don’t find us sitting on the couch watching our beloved Patriots.

So on this Sunday, I had decided to whip up a yummy turkey chili to enjoy while watching Tom Brady the game. Using ground turkey, fresh vegetables, and low sodium organic broth, this chili really is as healthy as they come!

Served with giant chunks of avocado and yummy blue tortilla chips this soup is great for game day, a week night dinner, and even better as lunch time left overs the following days that upcoming week!

Try out this recipe yourself on your next football sunday, let me know what you think!
