This is a variation of a WW recipe that I've tweeked a bit to be a "year supply dinner", and by that I mean, most of the ingredients can come from your pantry or year supply.
2 cans Great Northern Beans
2 cans stewed tomatoes, any variety
2 cans veggie broth, but you can use chicken broth too
1 pkg or 1 lb fresh spinach, washed and chopped or torn into peices (you can use a 10 oz pkg of frozen spinach, but I find that the texutre and apprearance of frozen spinach to be very off putting)
1 med onion diced up
2-3 cloves or minced garlic
1 lb ground turkey
Salt and Pepper to taste
1/2 bunch Italian flat leaf parsrley or 1 T dried parsely (optional)
Crusty bread & the cheese of your choice
Method:
Sautee onion and garilc till soft and almost translucent. Add meat and brown, don't forget to salt and pepper. When the meat is brown add the beans, tomatoes, and broth. Bring to a boil and cook for about 20 mins. Next add the spinach in in batches and allow to wilt down then add the next bunch, add the parsely here too if your're using it. Allow to cook for a few more minutes and serve with warm bread and cheese. WW info: 1 1/2 C soup = 4 pts, add appropriate points for bread and cheese according to lable info.
Varation: Place in a 2 qt casserole dish when all the ingredients are cooked. Rip bread into chunks and place on top of the soup, also sprinkle cheese on top and broil till cheese is brown and bubbly -- like you would do with French Onion soup. If you do it this way your WW nutrition info is: 1 1/2 C soup w/bread = 8 pts.
