• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 medium carrots, diced
• 2 medium celery stalks, diced
• 1 medium zucchini, diced
• 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes (canned, with juice)

• 0.5 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 cups baby spinach
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the ground turkey to the pot and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the cooked turkey and set it aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic, diced carrots, and diced celery. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Stir in the diced zucchini and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Pour the canned diced tomatoes (including the juices) and chicken or vegetable broth into the pot.

Step 7

Add the dried thyme, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 8

Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Let the soup simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Add the cooked ground turkey back into the pot and stir to combine.

Step 10

Stir in the baby spinach and let it wilt into the soup for 2-3 minutes.

Step 11

Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Step 12

Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!
