Turkey, Spinach, and White Bean Soup [To Die For]
This soup will make you so glad you brought your lunch to work instead of spending $10.00 on office deli BS. It was amazing after I first made it but it was DAMN good as a left over. Those are my favorite types of meals. Ones that you are excited to dive into a day or 2 or 3 later. Those are the meals that help you stretch your family’s dollars the longest and the meals that make your man forgets why he is mad at you. The great thing about this white bean soup was that it was so easy to make. It took less than 30 minutes.
I really recommend adding this to your monthly rotation. It seems great for all year around. Quick and light in summer months and warm and hearty for winter snuggles. I love it. Click here for my Free Bare Minimum Weekly Dinner Meal Prep List
