Turkey Vegetable Quinoa Soup

Turkey Vegetable Quinoa Soup



6 c. Water

4.c. Sodium Free Organic Chicken Broth

1 Bunch of Celery

5 large carrots

1 large yellow onion

2 turkey breasts/thighs

2 tbs Italian Seasoning

1 tsp Poultry Seasoning

1 c. Whole Quinoa





Roughly chop the vegetables. It doesn't really matter how "pretty" or even they are - you'll be tossing them in the food processor when they are done. In a skillet, lightly brown turkey. You are not cooking it, just caramelizing the fat on the outside to release some good flavor!



Combine all ingredients except for the Quinoa in a large crock-pot or slow cooker. Simmer for 4-6 hours until veggies are very soft and onions are translucent. Remove turkey pieces and shred/dice the meat. Set aside. Very carefully puree vegetables and broth in food processor until completely smooth. You'll want to do a couple cups at a time and take care not to burn yourself on the hot liquid. Replace puree/broth and meat into crock-pot. Add quinoa and cook on simmer for approx 1-2 hours. Salt and pepper to taste.



This makes A LOT of soup. I freeze mine in small containers for lunches and am able to get about 8-10 cups of soup.



Enjoy!
