Ingredients and Equipment Needed
Stock pot Olive oil Ground turkey – For best flavor and texture, use ground turkey (which includes dark and light meat and has a little more flavor). If desired, you can use ground turkey breast, just be aware that it tends to be more more dry and not as flavorful. I’m sure it would be equally delicious with ground beef or shredded chicken, so feel free to experiment! Diced onion Fresh garlic Dry Italian seasoning Kosher salt Black pepper Canned diced tomatoes Canned white beans – I personally use cannelli or great northern beans. These are a great pantry staple! I also use them in my really popular White Chicken Chili and also this White Bean and Artichoke Hummus. Chicken broth Dried oregano Dried basil Parsley – dried or fresh Fresh spinach – Kale would be lovely as well! If using kale, remove the leaves from the thick stems first, and then finely chop before adding to the soup. Kale takes a little longer to wilt than spinach does. If you think you’ll stock this soup in the fridge or freezer, kale is a great choice because it holds up to storage a little better than spinach does. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
