I made this soup the other night in my Ninja Cooking System set on "slow cooker" and it was so delicious that I decided that I would write down what I added to the dry soup mix that I had purchased. The 6 ingredients at the end is the dry list. I purchased it at a local farm market and added the rest of the goodies. This is one that I know I will be making again & again. I was so pleased with how thick, flavorful and colorful this soup turned out to be. I hope you'll try it too. It most certainly feeds an army.

How To Make hearty soup

Step 1

Add 8 cups of water into a crock-pot, 1 1/2 cups of Hearty mix, 2 tsp of salt and simmer 1 hour.

Step 2

Add 2 cups diced carrots, 3 stalks chopped celery, 2 cups of green beans & 2 cups of shredded cabbage. Simmer an additional 40 minutes. Add another 4 cups of water.
Step 3

In your Ninja or crock-pot add your meat one tbsp of oil oil to cook up ground turkey. Drain meat if necessary. Then add your green beans and carrots.
Step 4

Now add all the rest of your fresh vegetables and dried ingredients along with spices.
Step 5

Set Ninja on high for about 45 minutes. Stir soup mixture about every 20 minutes to check consistency of soup. Add more water if needed, which I had to do because of the absorption of the dry ingredients. I then lowered my temp to a medium and cooked for about an hour longer.
