We have so much snow here in Utah so I am cooking and baking a lot because A – I’m bored and B – it warms up the kitchen and the rest of the house and C – because I just love it so much. I do not however love the snow. I’m ready for this winter to be over. It’s been a crazy one. This soup is not crazy but delicious especially on a chilly day.

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 pound ground turkey, I think sausage would be delicious too

1 teaspoon seasoning salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup thinly sliced carrots

1/2 cup chopped celery

1/2 cup chopped onion

1 tablespoon minced garlic

32 oz (4 cups) chicken stock

28 oz tomato sauce

2 cups finely chopped fresh tomatoes

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1 dried bay leaf

1/2 teaspoon oregano

1 cup cooked elbow macaroni noodles

1 Heat oil in large soup pot over medium heat. Add turkey, salt, and pepper. Cook, crumbling turkey into small pieces, about 5 minutes or until golden brown. Add carrots, celery, onions, and garlic. Cook until onions are translucent, about 3 minutes.

2 Stir in chicken stock, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, Worcestershire, bay leaf, and oregano. Simmer, covered, for 30 minutes.

3 Add noodles right before serving.
