    I finally made this after printing out the recipe ages ago. I used 93% ground turkey. Substituted a frozen bag of riced cauliflower for the rice. ( Trying to keep calories down…lol ). This is so good. This will be in my frequently made recipe folder.

    Thank you for posting!

    Now this looks like a soup I would love! I’m cooking a similar one, but without the rice… I add some cooked pasta at the end though, to make it thicker. Using rice sounds like a very good idea, will try it the next time. Thanks for the tip.

      Pasta will work well! I was thinking Quinoa would be good too. Hope you get a chance to give it a try!

        I will try it for sure and to be honest, I think that using rice is the better option compared to pasta 🙂 I’m actually using rice in a few other soups already, so it should work really well.
