Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 2 medium celery stalks, diced
- 1 medium zucchini, diced
- 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes (canned, with juice)
- 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the ground turkey to the pot and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the cooked turkey and set it aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic, diced carrots, and diced celery. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the diced zucchini and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Pour the canned diced tomatoes (including the juices) and chicken or vegetable broth into the pot.
Add the dried thyme, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Let the soup simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Add the cooked ground turkey back into the pot and stir to combine.
Stir in the baby spinach and let it wilt into the soup for 2-3 minutes.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!
