Great soup! I took the advice of other reviewers and added cannellini beans, zucchini and a dash of crushed red pepper. I also cooked the rice in the broth (1/2 cup dry rice, so I added two to three extra cups of broth. I like the zucchini and beans, but I am not sure that I will necessarily add them next time. I might add a mix of ground dark and white meat turkey, and I will season it a bit better. All in all, a great, filling HEALTHY recipe that tastes great the next day and makes a fabulous lunch.

This soup is very flavorful....I keep going back to the pot to taste a little. I didn't add the tomatos however but it is stilllll hmmmm good. I didnt have the herbes de Provence but I did add basil, thymn, and a little mushroom for flavor. The kale which I don't eat often is very good. The whole dish is good and I don't feel like I'm overdoing it when eating. Ahhhhhh! I just hope my family likes it, but if they don't that will be alright for me. Thanks Giada

Very tasty and very easy to put together for a quick soup. And healthy, to boot! I don't know how you could ask for more. I cooked my rice in the soup rather than separately so I added an extra two cups of broth. I also had quite a bit of kale so the extra broth came in handy.

I LOVED THIS SOUP!!!!!!!!! I did add my own touch to it. To accommodate my vegetarian friends, I crumbled up some tempeh instead of the turkey and I used vegetable broth instead of chicken, and a touch of red wine. It tasted divine. I also added some zucchini and cannellini beans to make it more substantial since there was no meat. I also didn't cook the rice first, and just tossed it in when I sauteed the zucchini to coat it with the flavors. Since I did not cook the rice, I added a bit more broth, about 3 cups more, to make up for the cooking of the rice. The rice soaked up the flavors so nicely. Instead of the herb de provence (I didn't have it on hand, I used fresh thyme, rosemary, basil, and parsley (my kitchen staples which added that Italian flare. And the final ingredient I used to add more body to the soup was a parmesan rind (I always freeze them. Thank you Giada for always inspiring my dishes!!!!!!!

this is a great, hearty and flavorfuf stew -- looks good, tastes good and it's good for you! i agree the herbs de provence is the key ingredient. i slightly modified the recipe by browning garlic and shallots first, then browning the turkey. doing it this way made the turkey more flavorful throughout the stew. i also added diced zucchini and instead of brown rice, added whole wheat couscous (cheap at trader joes. it tastes good even after a few days. took it to work and shared with coworkers. yum!!

This was awesome! Lovely blend of flavors...I think it's the herbes de Provence that really make the difference. I only used 1T of olive oil and ended up adding an extra cup of broth to make it more of a soup consistency. I will definitely make this again! P.S. Bonus...it's super good for you, too!

This soup was easy to make. I had never tasted Kale. It's similar to spinach in soup and is colorful. I really enjoyed the taste of this soup. The spice was tasty too (herbs de provence.

This is so delicious! I added celery, a green peeled squash, and a can of white cannelini beans (I pureed half of it with some of the stock. I also added garlic. I didn't have herbs de provence so I added thyme, parsley, oregano, and basil, and also some red pepper flakes. I used half shallots, half onions based on what I had at home. I made the rice separately so I didn't have to add any extra liquid at all. Glad I made a double batch!
