instructions
    1

    Begin by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

    2

    Add 1 chopped onion, 1 chopped carrot, and 2 stalks of chopped celery to the pot. Sauté these vegetables for about 5 minutes, or until they start to soften.

    3

    Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

    4

    Add 1 pound of ground turkey to the pot and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

    5

    Pour in 6 cups of chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil.

    6

    Once boiling, add 2 cups of pasta and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the pasta is tender.

    7

    Season the soup with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. Stir well.

    8

    Finally, add 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley for fresh flavor before serving.
