Start by gathering all ingredients including chicken broth, canned diced tomatoes, kidney beans, Italian seasoning, avocado oil, onion, carrots, celery, garlic, kale, and ground turkey.

Peel the carrots, cut off the ends, slice them in half lengthwise, and then chop them into small pieces resembling half coins.

Add the chopped carrots to a large pot.

Cut the celery into small moon-shaped pieces and add to the pot with the carrots.

Dice the onion and add it to the pot with the carrots and celery.

Drizzle avocado oil into the pot without measuring, just enough to coat the vegetables, and stir to combine.

Cook the mixture over medium heat for about 7-8 minutes until the onions are caramelized and the carrots are softened.

Grate the garlic and add it to the pot, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.

While waiting for the vegetables to soften, prepare the kale by cutting the leaves off the stem and giving them a rough chop.

Once the vegetables are softened, add the ground turkey to the pot and cook until browned.

Add the canned diced tomatoes and drained kidney beans to the pot, stirring to combine.

Sprinkle in Italian seasoning and pour in the chicken broth until everything is covered, adjusting as necessary for liquid.

Add the chopped kale to the pot, drizzle with avocado oil, and massage it into the leaves before stirring it in.

Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for about 20 minutes, but the longer it simmers, the better it will taste.

After simmering for about 40 minutes to an hour, check the consistency and adjust liquid if necessary before serving.
