- 18
- Serves:
-
6-8
ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 lbs ground turkey (white or dark)
-
Diced Vegetables in your desired amounts
-
(feel free to add what you like) I used
- carrot
- celery
- onion
- potato
- tomatoes (canned or fresh, I used one can petite diced)
- turkey broth or stock
-
1/4-1/2 tsp each
- dried thyme
- dried basil
- dried oregano
- dried marjoram
- garlic powder
- cumin
- Worcestershire sauce
- bay leaf (He uses 3, I thought that was too many, so I used 1)
- salt, and to taste or pepper, to taste
- cooked rice (we prefer orzo) or cooked orzo pasta (we prefer orzo)
- grated parmesan cheese
directions
- In a large soup pot, brown the ground turkey in a little bit of olive oil so it doesn't stick and break it up into small pieces.
- Add diced onion, cook until it starts to soften a bit.
- Add in desired amount of broth. (I used approx 24 cups! It was a big batch!).
- Next, add your vegetables. If using potatoes, I recommend adding them in last, after the celery and carrot start to soften a bit.
- Then add to taste, your herbs and seasonings.
- Cook until all the vegetables are tender.
- May cook covered or uncovered. If uncovered, it will reduce a bit and the flavors will intensify more.
- Serve over warm cooked rice or orzo, a sprinkle or two of parmesan cheese and a dash of hot sauce and enjoy!

I really enjoyed this soup! I actually hogged the whole batch of it to bring to work for a week's worth of dinners, lol! I used packaged chicken stock, all the recommended herbs and spices, one large can of diced tomatoes, one can of Homestyle Veg-all (along with some fresh chopped carrots and celery), and one small can of baby potatoes (clearing out some pantry space). I probably added about 12 cups of stock, and I added a big scoop of some leftover cooked Mexican rice. If I didn't have the rice in the fridge, I probably would've went with orzo, but oh well. Very yummy, and so versatile too! Thanks for posting! Made for PAC Spring 2014
