hearty tomato soup

When I heard there was a cool front coming through, making soup was all I could think about! I knew I needed to get creative because Garrett won't eat anything unless protein is served so this was the perfect combination of both our wants and needs. There's layers, texture and so much goodness in this one recipe. My mom hardly ever made soup when I was growing up so it's not something I make often, but y'all, this recipe is so easy I can't wait to make it again. Anyone else made soup last week?!

Ingredients:

• 1 package of ground turkey meat
• coconut oil
• 1 cup of chopped onions
• 3 chopped garlic cloves
• a pinch of black pepper
• 1 tsp of oregano
• 1 jar of spaghetti sauce
• 4 cups of chicken stock (1 box of chicken stock gives you a little less than 4 cups. That's fine!)
• 1/2 cup of nonfat Greek yogurt
• 2 cups of elbow macaroni pasta - 1 box of Ancient Harvest
• one big pinch of freshly chopped basil 

Directions:​

• In a medium-large pot, cook your pasta and then place it off to the side once cooked.
• While your pasta is cooking, begin to chop your onion and garlic cloves.
• In a large pot, (coat the pot with a little coconut oil), begin to cook your onions and garlic for about 4 minutes to soften.
• Add in your ground turkey meat and begin to chop into pieces until it's no longer pink. Add in your pepper and oregano.
• Pour in your chicken stock and pasta sauce and let it cook for about 10 minutes.
• Add in your Greek yogurt and stir until you can no longer see chunks of yogurt.
• Add in the pasta and let it cook for another 10 minutes with the pot covered. Spoon into bowls and sprinkle your fresh basil.
  
• 3-4 servings. Enjoy!
