Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Start by chopping the bell peppers, onion, and mincing the garlic.
Cooking
- In a large pot over medium heat, add the ground turkey. Use a wooden spoon to break it apart as it cooks. Stir occasionally until browned (about 5-7 minutes).
- Toss in the chopped onions and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté these for about 2-3 minutes or until the onions are translucent and fragrant.
- Next, add the chopped bell peppers to the mix and cook for another 5 minutes. The peppers will soften slightly during this time.
- Pour in the tomato sauce and chicken broth. Stir everything well to combine the flavors, and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
- If you prefer the added texture of rice, toss in the cooked rice and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
- Taste your soup and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to your liking.
- Ladle the soup into bowls, and add any desired toppings like shredded cheese or fresh herbs. Enjoy while hot!
Notes
For a vegetarian option, consider using lentils or chickpeas in place of ground turkey. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or freeze in individual portions for up to 3 months.
