This turkey soup with zucchini noodles comes together in 20 minutes — it will end up in your weekly rotation.
This turkey soup with zucchini noodles is a variation of my popular Italian Turkey Soup with Beans, Tomatoes and Spinach. And this soup also comes together in 20 minutes! Woo hoo!
Brown up some ground turkey, throw in some spices, a can of tomatoes, some zucchini noodles, and some spinach. Done. Dinner time!
This will become a healthy go-to weeknight meal. It’s Whole30 compliant and low calorie. Your whole family will love it. And no worries — if you don’t have a spiralizer, buy one! Just kidding, you can easily julienne the zucchini with a mandoline or you can also cut it thinly with a knife. Same taste, different look.

Oh no, what a disaster, I probably would’ve thought nothing of throwing a rag into the sink too! I just imagine your face when you saw the ceiling…
On another note, the soup looks wonderful! I love zucchini anything!!
I am an insurance agent and water damage claims from situations like yours is THE most common claim by far in my experience with the industry. I think we have all been there done that with stupid. But in your case, who would have ‘thunk’ putting a towel in the sink would raise such havoc. Your husband really stepped up to the plate. Trickle down from his support is going to go on for years.
Sounds stressful! The soup looks yummy!
