Steps:
- In a 3 quart saucepan over medium heat, saute the onions and smoked turkey in the oil for 5 minutes, or until lightly browned.
- Add the garlic and stir for 1 minute.
- Add the stock, diced turkey, beans and pepper. Bring to a boil.
- Cover. Reduce the heat, and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Add salt to taste. Stir in the basil.
- Ladle into individual bowls, and sprinkle with the Parmesan.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your soup will taste. Look for fresh vegetables, beans, and smoked turkey.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: You want the vegetables to be tender but still have a little bit of bite to them. Overcooked vegetables will become mushy and lose their flavor.
- Use a flavorful broth: The broth is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a flavorful one. You can use chicken broth, beef broth, or vegetable broth. If you're using a store-bought broth, be sure to choose one that is low in sodium.
- Add some herbs and spices: Herbs and spices will help to enhance the flavor of your soup. Some good choices include rosemary, thyme, sage, garlic, and pepper.
- Let the soup simmer for a while: Simmering allows the flavors to meld together and develop. The longer you simmer the soup, the more flavorful it will be.
Conclusion:
Tuscan smoked turkey and bean soup is a hearty, flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying soup, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
