Ingredients: 2 tbsp olive oil; 1 onion, chopped; 2 carrots, peeled and diced; 2 celery stalks, chopped; 2 cloves of garlic, minced; 1 lb ground chicken or turkey; 32 oz chicken broth; 1 cup small pasta (such as alphabet or small shells); 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables; 1 tsp dried thyme; Salt and pepper to taste; Grated Parmesan cheese for garnish (optional)

Instructions

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables start to soften.
Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
Push the vegetables to the side of the pot and add the ground chicken or turkey. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Stir in the small pasta, frozen mixed vegetables, and dried thyme. Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked through.
Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve hot and enjoy a comforting and nutritious meal that children will love.
