• Add smashed and sliced garlic cook 2 minutes more.
• Add finely diced celery and shredded carrots. I prefer to shred my carrots because they sort of disappear into the broth once cooked. I am not a fan of chunks of carrot in my soups but if you like big ol chunks of carrot then you do what makes you happy.

• Add cooked ground turkey, unsalted chicken stock, parsley, undrained can of petite diced, unsalted tomatoes and bay leaf. Stir to make sure all the browned goodness from the pan is loosened. (I really love Kitchen Basics unsalted stocks, they have great flavor without a ton of sodium added.).
• Add cooked rice and simmer until heated through. You may need to add additional stock if rice absorbs too much of your stock.
• Throw in chopped greens and cook until wilted. I used spinach in the photo because that's what I had on hand. I've made this soup using kale and even the Power Blend of greens in a package from Kroger. They all taste great and give added nutrition to your soup.
