  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 pound ground turkey or chicken sausage

  • 1 large yellow onion, diced

  • 3 medium carrots, diced

  • 2 medium celery ribs, sliced

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 5 cups low sodium chicken broth

  • 1 can cannellini beans, drained

  • 1 can red kidney beans, drained

  • 1 can diced tomatoes (with juices)

  • 1 cup dried pasta (elbow macaroni or ditalini)

  • Fresh rosemary

  • Fresh thyme

  • Fresh parsley

  • Salt and pepper

  • Bay leaves

  • Grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat.

  • Add the ground turkey or chicken sausage. Cook for four to five minutes while breaking it apart to ensure even browning.

  • Add the diced onion, carrots, celery, rosemary, thyme, and parsley. Sauté the mixture for about six minutes until the vegetables soften.

  • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for one minute while stirring to prevent burning.

  • Pour in the chicken broth. Add the cannellini beans, red kidney beans, and the diced tomatoes along with their juices.

  • Season with salt and pepper. Add the bay leaves and bring the mixture to a boil.

  • Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for five minutes to allow the flavors to combine.

  • Stir in the dried pasta. Simmer the soup for nine to ten minutes until the pasta becomes al dente.

  • Remove the bay leaves.

  • Stir in grated Parmesan cheese just before serving.

Notes

  • You may add spinach or zucchini for extra vegetables.

  • Add more broth if you prefer a thinner soup.

  • Let the soup rest for a few minutes before serving to enhance flavor.
