Pasta Pesto Soup with Turkey and Spinach
A one-pot pasta soup flavored with pesto, ground turkey and spinach, finished with a squeeze of lemon and optional ricotta.
Like its viral cousin, lasagna soup, pasta pesto soup is based on a crowd-pleasing Italian classic. Use either homemade or store-bought pesto to imbue the broth with the pungent flavors of garlic and basil. Ground turkey adds a satisfying meatiness, while baby spinach turns this into a one-pot meal. And although the ricotta is optional, a dollop or two stirred into the bowl adds a lovely creaminess that rounds everything out.
