Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic
  • 3 ½ cups water divided
  • 1 (16 ounce) package Italian turkey sausage casings removed
  • 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups peeled and sliced carrots about 2 large carrots
  • 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen corn
  • 1 cup brown rice
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt more or less, to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper more or less to taste
  • 2 cups tightly packed fresh baby spinach

Instructions

  • In a large soup pot or dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium high heat. Add onions and saute for 1 minute. Add garlic and saute until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
  • Add ½ cup of the water and turkey sausage. Cook while crumbling turkey sausage until sausage is browned, no longer pink, and fully cooked (about 4 to 5 minutes).
  • Add all remaining ingredients except spinach and stir to combine (don't forget the remaining water). Bring to a gentle boil and reduce heat to maintain a simmer. Cover and simmer for 1 hour, or until carrots are tender and rice is cooked.
  • Add spinach and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, or until spinach is wilted.
