Vegetable and Ground Turkey Soup image

This has to be the easiest soup ever to make. It's like beef stew but subbing out the beef for ground turkey. I started making this when I cut back my beef intake. I don't add potatoes which makes for a very satisfying healthy low carb meal. I've found that extra lean ground turkey tends to be chewy and doesn't absorb the sauce and spice very well so I use regular ground turkey. You can use chicken, beef or veggie broth and any additional veggies that you like.
