    Recipe Introduction


    The original recipe called for ground turkey. I used ground chicken. This is an awesome recipe! Very healthy and delicious!


    List of Ingredients


    • 1 cup uncooked small pasta shells
    • 1 lb. ground chicken or turkey
    • 2 medium onions, chopped
    • 2 garlic cloves, minced
    • 3 cans (14 1/2 oz. each) reduced-sodium chicken broth
    • 2 cans (14 1/2 oz. each) white kidney or cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
    • 2 cans (14 1/2 oz. each) Italian stewed tomatoes
    • 2 tsp. dried oregano
    • 2 tsp. dried basil
    • 1 tsp. fennel seed, crushed
    • 1 tsp. pepper
    • 1/2 tsp. salt
    • 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes


    Instructions


    1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a Dutch oven or soup kettle, cook the chicken, onions and garlic over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the broth, beans, tomatoes and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
    2. Drain pasta and add to the soup. Cook 5 minutes longer or until heated through.
    3. Yield: 10 servings.

    Final Comments


    This was quite spicy, which was very good that way, but if you want it not so spicy, I would cut out some of the pepper.
