How to Make Ground Turkey Vegetable Soup

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil spray in a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned (about 5-7 minutes). Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add 8 cups of low-sodium chicken broth, 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 cup chopped carrots, 1 cup chopped celery, 1 cup chopped onion, 1 cup chopped green beans, 1/2 cup pearl barley, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the pot.
  3. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the barley is tender and the vegetables are cooked through. Stir occasionally.
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. For extra heat, add 1-2 teaspoons of chili powder (or more, to taste!).
  5. Serve hot and enjoy! Leftovers taste even better the next day.
