Preparation

Step 1

Cook pasta according to package directions. I used 2 cups meduim pasta shells, instead of small. Meanwhile, in a large soup kettle, cook the turkey, onions and garlic over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the broth, beans, tomatoes and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered, for 10 minutes

Drain pasta and add to the soup. Cook 5 minutes longer or until heated through.
