Hearty Zucchini Turkey Soup

Ingredients:

1LB Italian Ground Turkey

2~3 Med Zucchini, Sliced

1 Leek, Washed & Sliced

2 Cups Cannellini Beans, Cooked

2 Cups Fire Roasted Tomatoes

2~3 Cloves of Garlic, Minced

1 TBSP Sugar

1~2 tsp Italian Seasonings

2~4 Cups Veggie Stock

Infuse Tomato Sea Salt and Pepper

1 TBSP Tomato Paste (Optional)

In a large 5 quart dutch oven sauté leeks with a TBSP of butter until soft, add zucchini, ground turkey, garlic, salt, pepper and seasonings cook until there isn’t any more pink, add tomatoes and simmer for 10 minutes. At this point taste the mixture to see if you need to add sugar to neutralize the tomatoes, next add the cannellini beans, veggie stock and simmer of additional 15 minutes.

*Note: The juices from the zucchini and tomatoes make a broth. If you want to add tomato paste it will give the soup another layer of richness.  

Serve this hearty soup with Mediterranean Olive bread, Herb Garlic Butter, Red Wine and Infused Cucumber Water.

At this time of year I love soups and stews. This is one of my all time favorite combinations in a soup. I like to spoon the mixture over cubed bread and top it off with a Shaved Parmesan Cheese and a nice glass of Red Wine…

Enjoy!

** This is where I tell you that I cook by feel like my Grandmother and Mom did.

I’m passionate about my cooking and food.
