Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 medium carrots, sliced
• 2 medium celery stalks, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 pound ground turkey
• 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 2 cups water
• 1 medium zucchini, diced
• 2 cups (packed) spinach, chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 4

Push the vegetables to one side of the pot and add the ground turkey. Cook the turkey, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until it is browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and water, and stir to combine.

Step 6

Add the diced zucchini, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

Step 8

Stir in the chopped spinach and let it wilt, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the pot from heat and stir in the lemon juice.

Step 10

Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Step 11

Serve hot and enjoy! This soup stores well in the fridge for up to 3 days or can be frozen for longer storage.
