I made this soup tonight and it was sooooo good. About 340 calories for a 2 cup bowl and about 25 grams protein. To keep it low sodium, I used no salt added beans and tomatoes.

Pasta e Fagioli

2 tbsp canola oil
1 lb ground turkey (99% lean)
1 tsp pepper
¼ tsp salt
6 ounces shredded carrots
1 yellow onion , chopped
4 small stalks celery , diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
14.5 ounces can, diced tomatoes
1 jar Arrabbiata pasta sauce (or 1 jar marinara plus 1 tsp crushed red pepper or to taste)
1 tsp dried oregano
1 can red kidney beans
1 can white kidney beans (cannelini)
6 cups low-sodium beef stock
4 ounces small dried pasta (shells or ditalini)
1 tablespoons fresh parsley , chopped

Directions:
Brown turkey in oil in Dutch oven or stockpot, season with salt and pepper.
Add onion, garlic, carrots, celery, tomatoes, oregano and pasta sauce. Simmer for about 10 minutes.
Drain and rinse beans and add to pot along with beef stock.
Simmer until celery and carrots are tender, about 40 minutes.
Add pasta and cook about 15 minutes more until pasta is done.
Garnish with fresh parsley.
