Ingredients

• 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 1 large leek, diced
• 4 carrots, peeled and diced
• 1 jalapeno pepper, diced
• Sea salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 bay leaves
• 2 tsp dried parsley
• 2 tsp dried oregano
• ½ tsp cayenne pepper
• 4 cups organic chicken stock
• 3” Parmesan cheese rind

Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat, then add garlic, onion, leeks, carrots, and jalapeno. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are soft and develop a bit of color, approximately 6 - 8 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste.
2. Add bay leaves, dried herbs, and cayenne pepper and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the herbs become fragrant.
3. Add chicken stock, Parmesan rind, water, and cannellini beans to the pot. Increase heat to high and bring the soup to a rolling boil. Once it boils, reduce heat to medium low and simmer, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes.
4. Add shredded turkey and spinach to the pot and cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until the spinach wilts and the turkey is heated through. Remove from heat and discard bay leaves. Taste and adjust seasonings, as desired. Serve immediately with some shaved Parmesan cheese.
