Sauté the onion and garlic until the onion is soft and lightly browned, then add the minced garlic.
Meanwhile, process the chilli pepper with the cilantro leaves and ¼ cup of water in the blender.
Add the broth to the mixture of onions and garlic. Stir in the beer, shredded turkey meat, carrots, corn, and rice. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a minimum, and cook with the lid on for about 30 minutes.
Add the potatoes and cook until soft. If the soup is too thick, add more broth.
