How to Get BIG Flavor in a Hurry
Chopped vegetables, ground turkey, ground Italian sausage, canned beans, and a jar of marinara sauce form the base of this flavor-packed soup. And yes, you read that right – a jar of marinara sauce!
Adding marinara sauce to soup makes it taste slow-cooked and super savory, but only you and I will know that this recipe goes from fridge to table in just 30 minutes.

How to Make this Soup
Start by adding a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil to a large soup pot or Dutch Oven over medium-high heat. Add Italian sausage and ground turkey breast, chopped carrots, and minced shallot. Season with salt and pepper then saute until the meat is cooked through, breaking it up as it cooks.
Next add canned cannellini beans that have been drained and rinsed, plus Italian seasoning.
Just a couple more ingredients! Add chicken broth and a 24oz jar marinara sauce then turn the heat up to high to bring the soup up to a simmer.
The marinara sauce is my secret to giving this soup a rich and slow-cooked flavor without having to simmer it for hours.
Turn the heat down to medium then simmer the soup for 10 minutes, or until the carrots are tender, then add baby spinach that has been roughly chopped and stir until the spinach is tender, about 1 minute.
Soup’s up! Easy, right? Ladle into bowls then serve with a side salad, Gluten Free Biscuits, or Gluten Free Focaccia. So cozy!
However you serve it, I hope you love this yummy, soul-warming soup recipe — enjoy!

This soup is outrageously good! The amount of flavor that comes from the simple ingredient list is amazing. We use all sausage (versus the turkey and sausage combo.) I’ve make it with both spicy and mild and it’s equally as good both ways. This is a family favorite now and it is currently on weekly rotation. PS, all of your soups that we have tried are really good!
Where do you find this marinara sauce?
Steve first made this soup and I loved it. We make it at least once a month and it’s now our go to for bringing to friends who have babies or are home sick!!!
Wow- time flies! I made your Spicy Tomato and Turkey Soup with Ditalini the day you posted it and loved it! I made this for my work lunches this week and it’s delicious! I’m saving adding the spinach for the morning of and hoping the microwave will wilt it enough when I reheat it at lunchtime. Fortunately my grocery store offers plenty of low sodium/low sugar sauces compared to five years ago. Thank you for another great recipe!
So glad you love it, Colleen! I LOVE how this soup reheats – perfect for lunches!
Marinara sauce and chicken broth combo is so delicious. I ate this soup every day and plan to make again this week. All your recipes rock!
Thank you so much, Barbara! :)
Just made this for lunch an holy yum! So excited for leftovers for lunches!
We really enjoyed this. I live in Texas and couldn’t find Bove’s, so I used Newman’s Own marinara and it was great. Also added some diced zucchini at the end + red pepper flakes. The best part was how easy it was, and how few dishes I dirtied in the process!
Another perfect recipe, Kristin! I used Mario Batali pasta sauce and added in Ditali pasta. Making this again for sure! Thank you :)
This soup was so good and fast! Perfect week night meal for the working household … bonus- leftovers for the week :)
Okay so I’m a local like you and can’t seem to find Boves marinara sauce! I’m a HyVee regular also and I couldn’t find it there. I’m dying to make this so I’ll probably substitute with something else for my first attempt. But your recommendations are usually spot on so I will go searching – just push me in the right direction. :)
Yum!! I’m definitely going to make this soon!!
Looks great! Planning to double for a group of 12. Do you think the flavors would go well with cornbread?
This looks delicious. Pinning for later. I would need to modify it for the crock pot though.
