  • Author: Alice

Description

Enjoy a comforting bowl of this smoky, hearty soup made with tender turkey tenderloin, savory white beans, and rich tomato broth. Perfect for a cozy night in, it’s a modern twist on a childhood favorite you’ll love sharing with friends and family.


Ingredients

– 1/2 lb diced turkey tenderloin
– 1 cup diced yellow onions
– 1 cup diced carrots
– 1 cup diced celery
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 4 cups chicken broth
– 3 cans (15 oz each) Great Northern beans, drained and rinsed
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce


Instructions

1. Cook the diced turkey tenderloin in a soup pot or Dutch oven until crisp. Use a slotted spoon to remove the turkey tenderloin to a paper towel-lined plate. Discard all but about 2 tablespoons of the turkey tenderloin grease.
2. Add the onions, carrots, and celery to the hot turkey tenderloin grease. Cook over medium heat until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
3. Stir in the chicken broth and beans. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 1 hour.
4. Carefully remove half of the soup and transfer it to a blender or food processor. Process until smooth, then return the purée to the soup pot, stirring it into the remaining soup.
5. Add the tomato sauce and 3/4 of the reserved turkey tenderloin back to the pot, stirring to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
6. Let the soup simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes. Serve topped with the remaining turkey tenderloin for a crispy touch.
