Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 5 to 6 large shallots, chopped
- 3 medium carrots, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 1 1/3 cups)
- 1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 8 ounces ground white turkey meat, broken into small chunks
- 1 tablespoon herbes de Provence
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth, plus more as needed
- One 15-ounce can diced tomatoes in juice, drained
- 1 cup cooked brown rice
- 1 small bunch kale, coarsely chopped (about 4 packed cups)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan, optional
Directions
Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, carrots and bell pepper and saute, stirring frequently, until the vegetables begin to brown and soften slightly, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the ground turkey and stir until the meat turns white and begins to color very slightly around the edges, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the herbes de Provence and stir, 1 minute. Add 4 cups broth, tomatoes and rice. Bring to a boil. Stir in the kale and season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and the freshly ground black pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Ladle the soup into bowls. Sprinkle each serving with parsley and Parmesan, if using, and serve.

Even though I have never been a huge fan of ground turkey nor have I cooked with Kale I thought this dish looked delicious on the show. AND IT WAS. My husband and I could not get enough of this soup - so easy, flavorful and healthy. I made it exactly as the recipe was written, and it will be a staple! The Herbs De Provence is a must - enjoy!!

Awesome!!! A great and healthy soup. The second time I made it I used celery instead of green peppers and it was just as good. I did have to use about a cup more broth after is simmered a while. Also "Birds Eye" has brown rice in the freezer section that makes this recipe even faster. Plus that rice is really good. This has been added with my other favorite soups. Thanks Giada!

Love this soup! I used Trader Joe's chicken sausage with sundried tomatoes instead of ground turkey. I made a large batch of the chicken sausage with vegetables and used part of that for a pasta dish (added pasta and a little tomato sauce for the pasta dish and the other half (adding the broth, brown rice, and kale for this soup.
