Ingredients:


2 teaspoons canola oil

2 large leeks -- trimmed, cleaned and chopped (3 1/2 cups)

1 medium red bell pepper -- cored, seeded and chopped

3 cloves garlic minced

4 cups fat-free chicken broth

1 1/2 pounds butternut squash -- (1 large) peeled, seeded and cut into 1-inch cubes

2 teaspoons dried thyme -- or 2 TBSP Fresh Thyme

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin

1 pound turkey breast cutlet -- cut into 1/2-by-2-inch strips

2 cups frozen kernel corn

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper and salt
 

Preparation / Directions:


In a dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add leeks and peppers and saute until vegetables begin to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic and saute 1 minute. Stir in chicken broth, squash, thyme and cumin; cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Add turkey and corn; return the broth to a simmer. Simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the turkey is just cooked through. Add lime juice and red-pepper flakes. Gently warm the soup until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve 6 servings
