Here is how you make LUNCH FOR MORE THAN A WEEK: Hearty Vegetable and Turkey Sausage soup:

Saute one chopped OR diced onion (your preference) in one tablespoon olive oil in a large pasta/soup pot on the stove until onions start to sweat. Add chopped garlic and saute a minute or so (don't burn the garlic), then add chicken stock to the pot (2-3 cans or one of the medium boxes of stock). Add a few cans of crushed tomatoes (I buy the ones with the italian seasoning added so I can skip any extra seasonings in the soup). Add other veggies you like (escarole or kale and/or spinach, yellow squash sliced, zucchini sliced, carrots slices (any way you like them cut)....even string beans or celery too. Truly whatever you like, add it! Sometimes I add a can of beans (any kind). I add in a package of turkey sausage (sweet OR hot) that I've poked with holes and baked in the oven at 350 degrees for about 45-55 minutes to pre-cook and drain some more fat from. When the turkey is done cooking I slice it into bite size pieces (about 8 per link) and add to the pot. I bring it all to a boil and then let simmer for a few hours. You can add more crushed tomatoes OR more chicken broth and cook with the lid on or off depending on how thick and tomatoe-y you like it. So delish! Hope you like it ENJOY! :)Serving Size:?Makes enough to have a huge bowl for lunch for more than a week. Freezes great too!
