Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 shallot minced (or 1/2 of an onion minced)
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 3-4 large carrots sliced into 1/4 inch rounds
  • 1 piece/rib of celery sliced into 1/4 inch rounds
  • 1 pound yellow potatoes diced into 1 inch sized cubes
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon nutritional yeast (optional but adds great flavor)
  • 1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen peas
  • 3/4 cup white rice (I used basmati)

Instructions

  • Add 1 Tablespoon of olive oil to a large soup pan, along with the minced shallot and garlic and sauté over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Then add the ground turkey to the pan. Break up the ground turkey while mixing it into the shallot and onion. Saute until the turkey is cooked through and light in color, 4-6 minutes.
  • Lower heat to low. Add in the chicken broth, carrots, celery, potatoes, parsley, thyme, rosemary, oregano, sage, nutritional yeast, salt, pepper, peas and almond milk.
  • Increase heat until the soup boils, then reduce heat to low medium so that it simmers or soft boils. Simmer for 10 minutes, then add the rice, and cook for 15-20 more minutes, until potatoes are fork tender.

Notes

  • Instead of shallots, you can use a white onion. You can also use 1 teaspoon of onion powder if you prefer as well.
  • Instead of yellow potatoes, you can use any potato of your choice.
  • Instead of ground turkey, you can also use ground chicken.
  • Instead of almond milk, you can use any non-dairy or regular milk of your choice
  • Instead of white rice, you can use brown rice but cooking time may vary.
  • Instead of chicken stock, you can use veggie stock or bone broth.
