Quick, Easy, Healthy Soup

Category: Hearth & Home, Recipes | Written by Lady Rose

For a bit of a change I’m posting a recipe. Mama Kelly is the usual provider of home cooked recipes on the blog, but I figured I would share one of mine that I tossed together.

I’m always on a diet, so I don’t often cook since I eat so little. Hubby does most of the cooking for himself and my daughter. But last week I wanted to make something a little different that was also yummy, 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
1 large bag of baby carrots (10 serving size)
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
2 cans of 98% fat free mushroom soup

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. If serving the soup with a sandwich or other dish you could probably get 8 servings.

It only took me about 10 minutes to prepare (the time the carrots are simmering doesn’t count since I was able to go off and do other things).

Calories: Total of calories on all the packages was 1440, then divided by the number of servings (6) for a total of 240 calories per container.

Bright Blessings, Lady Rose

I love your site! It is so full of information, it is just wonderful! Thanks for sharing it with the rest of us.

I love this soup recipe, I love soups but my family is a chicken noodle soup only family. lol

Soup can be great for healing and magick can be added to it as well. In my book “Magick for the Kitchen Witch” I mention how a bowl of soup can be imbibed with healing powers

“Holding a bowl of chicken noodle soup and imbibing it with healing vibes to help heal a sick family member or friend is a simple spell. We’re making the soup anyway, so why not add a little magick by holding it and reciting the following chant: “Enchant now this bowl of soup; may my (or person’s name) health recoup.” (see my site for more info on the book).

Thanks for sharing this great recipe! Your pages have also given me inspiration for my own website!
