Ground Turkey Vegetable Bean Soup - The ultimate filling bowl of soup for the chilly Fall weather.

Last week I decided to take on the task of painting my daughter's bedroom, she had chosen her paint colour months ago in the summer, but the paint was still sat in the garage.

So in order to be prepared, I wanted to make up a big pot of soup that I could just heat up and go because I knew it would take a few days to get her bedroom finished.

Grabbing a pack of ground turkey I had in the freezer and raiding the fridge for some vegetables, I also grabbed a tin of Great North White Beans from the pantry and got everything prepped for a hearty Ground Turkey Vegetable Bean Soup.

Ground Turkey often has a tendency to be quite dry because it is so lean in fat, except for when you add it to things like chilli and soup of course.

Perfect handy ingredient for the freezer, so I will often grab a pack of it when I go to Costco for yummy meals like this, which are perfect for busy weeks.

One of the great things about soups and chilli's is that they are totally portable too in one of these handy Thermos Food Flasks, if you don't have heating facilities at work.

Both my kids have one of these for days when they take leftovers into school for their lunches. They are not really fans of the usual sandwiches etc so they really do come in handy.

A little peek of her new bedroom. She loves the colours.
