Zippy Turkey Stoup image

No, that's not a typo. My DH calls my soups "stoup" because I make them THICK. My oldest son is down with a head cold and a sore throat and I didn't have time for my usual, homemade chicken and noodle soup so I whipped this up instead of the planned dinner he wouldn't have been able to eat. You don't have to have a head cold to enjoy this. You just need to be looking for a bowlful of meaty goodness and colorful veggies with a little extra zip. Note -- "vegetable juice cocktail" is V-8. But that isn't in the ingredient database so I can't say it.

Yield 12-14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 lbs ground turkey
1 large onion
1 -2 cup chopped zucchini (1, 8-10-inch or 2, 6-inch squash)
1 -2 cup chopped yellow squash (1, 8-10-inch or 2, 6-inch squash)
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
1 lb frozen spinach (optional)
2 small fresh jalapeno peppers, minced
2 garlic cloves, put through press
1 tablespoon parsley
2 teaspoons oregano
4 cups chicken stock
8 -12 ounces vegetable juice cocktail (optional) or 8 -12 ounces tomato juice (optional)
1 cup rice
olive oil

Steps:

  • In a large pot, brown the ground turkey and onions in a little olive oil.
  • Add all the other ingredients and bring to boil.
  • Simmer 15-20 minutes, until rice is soft and flavors are well blended.
  • Note: If you prefer a thinner, more brothy consistency add more chicken stock and taste to adjust seasonings.
  • Note: The jalapenos don't make this really hot -- just a little zippy. If even this is too much substitute the milder Anaheims or "Cubanelle"-type sweet peppers. If its not spicy enough for you go for whatever variety suits your taste.
  • Note -- I haven't frozen it, but it ought to freeze as well as any other soup.
