Start by heating a stock pot and adding about 1/2 cup of chicken broth to prevent sticking.

Add 98% lean ground turkey to the pot and sauté until browned.

Add 3 cloves of minced garlic to the turkey.

Add 1 cup of chopped sweet onions and 1/2 cup of diced celery to the pot and mix while the turkey is cooking.

Season with fresh ground pepper to taste.

Add 1.5 cups of sliced mushrooms to the mixture.

Add 1.5 cups of mixed vegetables (like green beans and corn).

Pour in 4 cups of low sodium chicken broth.

Add 1 teaspoon each of dried basil, thyme, and parsley, and mix well.

Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer for 30 minutes.

After 25 minutes, check the soup; it should be nice and soupy with softened vegetables.

Garnish with fresh parsley and chopped green onions before serving.
