Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 pound Lean ground turkey (or ground beef)
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium Green bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium Yellow bell pepper, diced
- 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes (canned)
- 6 cups Low-sodium chicken broth
- 1.5 cups Cooked brown rice
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheese (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease if needed.
Stir in the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
Add the diced bell peppers (red, green, and yellow), and cook for an additional 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, oregano, basil, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Stir in the cooked brown rice and let the soup simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes to heat the rice through.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. If the soup is too thick, add a bit more chicken broth to reach the desired consistency.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of shredded cheese, if desired.
