Ingredients

• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 medium carrots, diced
• 2 medium celery stalks, diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
• 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 15 ounces cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
• 15 ounces red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup dried ditalini pasta
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it up into small pieces, until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat and transfer the cooked turkey to the crock pot.

Step 2

In the same skillet, add the diced onion, carrots, celery, and minced garlic. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened. Transfer them to the crock pot.

Step 3

To the crock pot, add the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, cannellini beans, kidney beans, oregano, basil, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together until well combined.

Step 4

Cover and cook on low heat for 6 hours, or on high heat for 4 hours.

Step 5

Thirty minutes before the cooking time is complete, add the ditalini pasta to the crock pot. Stir well and continue to cook until the pasta is tender.

Step 6

Once the pasta is cooked, remove the bay leaf from the crock pot. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper as needed.

Step 7

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
