This recipe is a keeper! Quick to throw together, absolutely delicious, and very much like some sort of Tuscan or Florintine soup that you'd get at a high-end restaurant.
To suit my own taste, I did jazz it up a bit by adding extra basil, oregano, and black pepper, as well as, a sprinkle of garlic powder, some salt, and a tablespoon of chicken soup base, but it was delicious as was.
Here's the recipe...
GROUND TURKEY SOUP WITH BEANS AND SPINACH
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (I omitted the oil
because I cook my ground meat in water
and drain)
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- a pinch red pepper flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 can (14.5 ounce) diced tomatoes,
undrained
- 1 can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
- a small bag or box of spinach (5 to 8 oz.)
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese,
plus extra for garnish
Brown the meat with onions, garlic, red pepper flakes, and black pepper until ground turkey is cooked through.
Add oregano basil, tomatoes (with liquid) and beans. Stir to combine.
Reduce heat to medium-low, add spinach and cover for a couple of minute or until spinich is wilted. Stir to combine.
Add broth, stir, and increase heat to medium. Continue to cook until heated through (about 5 minutes).
Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese. Serve hot and garnish with extra Parmesan.
Note: Any ground meat of choice may be used in this recipe and, again, add extra spices, salt, chicken base, if desired, to suit individual taste.
Until next time...
