  • 1 large carrot coarsely chopped
  • 1 large parsnip peeled and coarsely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup butternut squash cut into 1″ cubes
  • 4 cups low sodium vegetable stock
  • 1 cup water
  • 15 ounces low sodium fire roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 sprig fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried
  • 1 tablespoon freshly chopped rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried
  • 15 ounces cannelini beans rinsed and drained

  • salt and pepper to taste.

Instructions

  • Preheat the oil in a large soup pot or Dutch oven. Add the leeks, carrot, and parsnip and saute for 5 minutes or until softened. Add the garlic and butternut squash and saute for about 1 minute. Add the stock or water, diced tomatoes, bay leaf, thyme, and rosemary and stir.

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 lb. lean ground turkey
  • 2 cans cannellini or Great Northern beans rinsed and drained
  • 14.5 ounces low sodium fire roasted diced tomatoes
  • 3 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 lime juiced, plus more for serving
  • ¼ cup freshly chopped cilantro
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté 5-6 minutes until onion is translucent and softened.
  • Add the garlic and spices and sauté 30 seconds. Add the ground turkey and 1/4 cup water and stir, breaking up the meat into pieces with a wooden spoon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the turkey is no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes.
  • While the turkey is cooking, mash one cup of the rinsed and drained beans in a bowl with a fork. When the turkey is cooked through, add the mashed beans, whole beans, tomatoes and chicken broth, and stir until combined. Bring to a boil, reduce heat slightly, and simmer 20-30 more minutes until thickened.
  • Remove from heat and add the lime juice, cilantro, salt and pepper to taste. Serve with lime wedges and avocado if desired and enjoy!
