Ingredients

1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil
2 medium green bell peppers, cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces
2 cups (500 mL) cubed, peeled, cooked butternut squash
2 cups (500 mL) shredded cooked turkey or chicken
2 cups (500 mL) chicken broth
1 can (14 oz/398 mL) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can (14 oz/398 mL) Old El Paso* Refried Black Beans
1 package Old El Paso* Smart Fiesta* Reduced Sodium Taco Seasoning Mix

Steps

1

Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium heat; add bell peppers. Cook 6 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until peppers are almost crisp-tender. Stir in remaining ingredients.
2

Heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking to bottom of pan. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to blend flavours.

Expert Tips

Tip 1
Time Saver: Cut-up, ready-to-cook squash can be found in the produce section of many grocery stores and club stores during the fall and winter.
Tip 2
Tip: Are you using leftover cooked squash that's already mashed? Simply stir it in with other ingredients for a thicker soup.
