Garden Harvest Minestrone Soup

 This soup was so good, I am making it again tonight, but with turkey kielbasa instead of the sausage. It comes from the website Handmade Farmhouse. I'm posting it as I made it but she gives lots of alternative suggestions.

• 5 C broth (a combination of chicken and beef was yummy)
• 1 T Italian seasoning 
• 1 t minced garlic
• 1 t onion powder
• 1 pound ground turkey sausage or turkey kielbasa
• 1 can white beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 can diced tomatoes, NOT drained
• 1 can corn, drained (or one cup frozen)
• 1 C chopped carrots
• 2 small zucchini, diced
• 2 small yellow squash, diced
• 1 handful kale leaves, chopped

1. Brown sausage in soup pot, if using.
2. Add all ingredients (the original recipe calls for adding the kale for a few minutes at the end, but I will add it with the rest of the ingredients)
3. Simmer for about 20 minutes.
