Ingredients
1 lb ground turkey
8 oz gluten-free pasta (brown rice or chickpea rotini)
24 oz gluten-free marinara sauce
4 cups low-sodium beef broth
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
2 cups fresh baby spinach, chopped
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup onion, diced
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add ground turkey and cook until browned and internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Stir in diced onions, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder, cooking until onions are translucent.
Pour in marinara sauce and beef broth, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil.
Add the gluten-free pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the softened cream cheese until the broth is smooth and creamy.
Fold in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted.
Ladle into bowls and top with shredded mozzarella before serving.
Notes
Ensure your pasta is certified gluten-free to avoid cross-contamination. If the soup becomes too thick after sitting, add a splash of extra beef broth. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.
