It's SOUP!!

• 
  Had the urge to try something new for dinner and this recipe hits the spot! I have replaced some ingredients to make it a healthier meal without compromising on taste!
• 
  
• Hearty Eggplant Soup
• 1-1/2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1/2 medium onion, chopped
• 1/2 pound ground turkey
• 1/2 clove garlic, crushed
• 1/2 pound eggplant, diced
• 1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons sliced carrots
• 1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons sliced celery
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can Italian diced tomatoes, drained
• 1 (14 ounce) can fat free, low sodium chicken broth
• 1/4 packet truvia
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup dry macaroni (optional)
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the onion, turkey, and garlic until turkey is evenly brown. Drain grease, and mix in eggplant, carrots, celery, and tomatoes. Pour in broth. Mix in truvia, and season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir until heated through.
2. If you chose to use macaroni, mix into the soup, and continue cooking 12 minutes, or until macaroni is al dente. Top with Parmesan cheese to serve.

Serves 4 and freezes well! If you try this, let me know what you think, thanks!
