{NEW} Fast + Healthy Tuscan Soup ???? With a few simple swaps, we’ve made our favorite restaurant-style Tuscan soup MUCH healthier!
Here’s how we did it! ➡️Ground Turkey instead of Italian Sausage ➡️Minimal amount of healthy oil instead of a half stick of butter
➡️Bone broth for added protein instead of conventional bouillon ➡️Added fresh kale or spinach ➡️Option to use non-dairy milks if you choose
Like most soup, it’s even tastier the next day, so make a double batch!
makes 6-8 servings
Ingredients:
1.5 lbs ground turkey
1 Tbsp olive oil, or avocado oil
1 sweet yellow onion, diced
1 tsp oregano
1/8-1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (depending on your heat preference)
4-5 fresh garlic cloves, pressed
4 medium Russet potatoes, perled and chopped into small cubes
1/4 cup chopped sun dried tomatoes
sea salt and fresh ground black pepper
6 chicken bone broth, or vegetable broth, or water
a large handful of baby kale, or baby spinach, ribs/stems removed
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk (preferred), almond milk, or grass fed cream
a large handful of fresh basil, chopped
a small handful of fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions:
Heat oil in a large stock pot, then cook your ground turkey until almost browned, about 4-5 minutes.
In that same pot with your cooked meat, stir in the onions, oregano, red pepper flakes, garlic, sun dried tomatoes, and a tiny pinch of sea salt and pepper, then cook for a few minutes more, stirring frequently until the onions softens.
Add in the potatoes and broth, reduce heat and bring it to a simmer.
Cover your pot and continue to simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes more, then add kale or spinach, stir, and turn off heat.
Allow to sit, covered for 5 minutes, then gently stir again.
Finally, with your stock pot completely removed from heat; add in the milk, basil and parsley.
Give everything a big gentle stir.
Taste and season your soup with sea salt and pepper if desired.
Allow to cool a bit before serving.
Even tastier the next day, so make a double batch!
Enjoy! ❤Rachel
