Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 1 pound ground turkey

  • ½ cup diced onion

  • 4 cups water, or more to taste

  • 2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with juice

  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed

  • 2 medium carrots, chopped

  • 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped

Directions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground turkey in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add onion and saute until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a slow cooker.

  2. Add 4 cups water, diced tomatoes with juice, potatoes, carrots, bell pepper, celery, lentils, broccoli, frozen corn, molasses, bay leaves, bouillon cubes, basil, salt, and pepper.

  3. Cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours or on High for 5 to 6 hours, adding up to 2 cups more water depending on how thick you want the soup.

Cook's Note:

You can use ground beef instead of turkey, if desired.
