I tossed together a quick, easy and healthy soup this weekend and it came out so yummy I wanted to share the recipe here.
Since I’m always on a diet, I don’t cook very often so it was a real treat for me. Hubby does most of the cooking for himself and my daughter. But this week I wanted something different, that was also healthy and filling for my dinners that I could just heat up when I got home. Although this recipe doesn’t take all day to cook, it did come out really tasty and it was very quick and easy, plus it is low fat and low in calories.
Quick and Easy Carrot Spinach Turkey Soup
6 servings
1 box of chicken broth (size: 4 servings)
1 large bag of baby carrots (size: 10 servings)
1 onion (roughly sliced)
In a big pot simmer (on low) the carrots and onion in the broth for about 90 minutes (or until carrots are tender).
1 lb of lean ground turkey – saute in non-stick pan, season with garlic powder. When cooked drain off excess fat\liquid.
1 bag of fresh baby spinach (size: 3 servings)
2 cans of 98% fat free mushroom soup (size: 2 1/2 servings each)
When the carrots are tender, add the ground turkey, baby spinach, and mushroom soups to the broth.
I divided the batch of soup into 6 containers (18 oz) and will have one for dinner Monday-Friday. I shared the 6th container with the family. My hubby (who makes awesome soups all the time) liked it a lot and my daughter enjoyed it too.
It only took me about 10 minutes to prepare (not counting the time the carrots are simmering since I was able to go off and do other things).
If serving the soup with a sandwich, salad or other dish you could get 8 servings.
Calories: I totaled the calories on all the packages the total was 1440, then divided by the number of servings (6) for a total of 240 calories per container.
