  • 1 small-medium onion, diced
  • 4-5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon dry Italian seasoning

  • 1 15-ounce can canned diced tomatoes

  • ½ teaspoon basil, dry
  • 1 tablespoon parsley, dry or about ¼ cup fresh

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large stock pot to medium heat. Pour 1-2 tablespoons olive oil into the pot and swirl to coat bottom of pan.
  • Add diced onions and cook for 2-3 minutes, until starting to soften. Add garlic and cook for about 30 seconds. Add ground turkey, Italian seasoning, ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Continue crumbling turkey and cook until completely cooked through.
  • When turkey is cooked through, add in canned tomatoes (including all the juice), the drained beans, and the chicken broth. Add oregano and basil and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a low simmer and simmer for at least 10 minutes, and up to 20.
  • Right before serving, roughly chop spinach and add to pot. Stir until wilted and then season soup with additional salt and pepper as needed. Ladle into bowls and top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

Store cooled soup in an airtight container in the fridge and eat within 3-4 days for best results. This soup freezes beautifully! Freeze in individual portions for easy meals on busy days! To make vegetarian or vegan: Replace the chicken broth with your favorite veggie broth and leave the turkey out. If you'd like, add an extra can of beans or some chickpea or lentil noodles. Sprinkle with a little nutritional yeast or your favorite cheese replacement instead of Parm and you're good to go!
