Easy Minestrone Soup

This is such an easy soup recipe. You can often just open your cupboards and dump the ingredients you have on hand to make this yummy soup. My two year old liked it and my 8 month old DEVOURED it.  She could not get enough of the turkey, noodles and veggies.

Ingredients:
1 lb Lean ground turkey (93/7)
1/4 cup onion
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper, separated
1 can Hunt's Spaghetti Sauce (Italian Sausage Flavored)

2 carrots, 1/2 cubes
2 celery stalks, chopped (including leaves)
1/2 tomato chopped
1 can sweet yellow corn

1 can red kidney beans
3 oz whole wheat pasta shells

You may want to add a little water  or chicken stock when you eat leftovers. The veggies and pasta may continue to soak up the broth.
