I made this yesterday and was pleasantly surprised at how tasty it was, and very very filling! A hint of sweetness and a hint of spiciness.

1 20oz package of Ground Turkey (I used Jennie-O Lean Ground Italian Seasoned)
1 large Vidalia Onion, chopped
1 large Green Bell Pepper, chopped
Few dashes of salt & pepper
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1 14oz can of Stewed Tomatoes (I used Red Gold)
1 14oz can of Diced Tomatoes (I used Red Gold Petite Diced Garlic & Olive Oil)
1 14oz can of White Beans, rinsed and drained (I used Goya Small White Beans Low Sodium)
14oz water
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
1 9 or 10oz package of Frozen Chopped Spinach (I used Green Giant Chopped No Sauce)

Add ground turkey, salt, pepper & garlic powder to a soup pot over medium heat. When halfway cooked, add chopped onion and green pepper. When turkey is cooked through drain liquid and grease. Add stewed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, white beans, water and italian seasoning. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 20 minutes. Add spinach (I put it in frozen, or you could thaw it first) and cook for 5 - 10 more minutes or until spinach is heated through.

This made 10 cups of very chunky soup. I divided it into 6 servings of 1 2/3 cups for each serving.

Here is the nutrition info per serving based on the specific items I used. The sodium is high, however if you use plain ground turkey instead of italian seasoned, it goes down by like 500g per serving! I bought that kind because it was on sale and I rarely go over on sodium. Use low sodium versions of the canned tomatoes to reduce it even more if you need to.

    Yeah, really easy! I'm not very experienced with cooking... this is only the 2nd soup I've ever made!

    BTW - it also freezes and reheats great too!
