Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450 grams) lean ground turkey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 medium zucchini, diced
  • 1 cup (150 grams) frozen green beans
  • 1 can (14.5 oz / 400 grams) diced tomatoes with juices
  • 4 cups (950 ml) low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme blend)
  • ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • A handful of fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat a large pot over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons olive oil; warm until shimmering but not smoking.
  2. Add 1 pound ground turkey, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook 5–7 minutes until browned and no longer pink, stirring occasionally.
  3. Push turkey to the sides of the pot; add diced onion and minced garlic to the center. Cook 2–3 minutes until onion is translucent and fragrant, avoiding burning the garlic.
  4. Add diced carrots, celery, zucchini, and frozen green beans. Stir and cook for 3 minutes to slightly soften the vegetables.
  5. Pour in diced tomatoes with juices and 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth. Stir in dried Italian herbs, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
  6. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender but hold their shape.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed. Add a splash of water or broth if soup is too thick.
  8. Remove from heat and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top before serving.

Notes

Brown the turkey well to develop flavor. Finely dice vegetables for even cooking. Keep heat low when simmering and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Remove lid during last 5 minutes to thicken broth if desired. Adjust seasoning to taste. For vegetarian version, substitute turkey with lentils or tofu and use vegetable broth.
