1 lb ground turkey
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 carrots, sliced
1 zucchini, chopped
2 cups spinach or kale
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 tsp dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
Brown the Turkey: In a large pot over medium heat, add the ground turkey. Cook until browned and thoroughly cooked, about 5 to 7 minutes. Be sure to break it apart with a spoon.
Sauté Aromatics: Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot, stirring until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add Vegetables: Toss in the sliced carrots and chopped zucchini. Stir occasionally and let them sauté for another 5 minutes.
Pour in Broth: Carefully add the chicken or vegetable broth to the pot, ensuring all ingredients are covered with liquid.
Season: Add dried thyme, salt, and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer. Allow the soup to cook for about 15 minutes, or until the carrots are tender.
Add Greens: Stir in the spinach or kale, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until the greens are wilted and tender.
Final Taste Check: Adjust the seasoning as necessary, adding extra herbs or spices based on personal preferences.
Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, and enjoy while hot. A sprinkle of fresh herbs can add an extra layer of flavor!
