EASY Crock Pot Lasagna Soup

Tuesday was a super busy day for us. I had 40 minutes to get the kids in the house, dogs out and back in before they run in the street, and have all of us done eating before we leave for our first Family Be FIT class. The dogs and kids ended up in the neighbors house while I'm trying to get the kids in the car. AH! Luckily my awesome neighbor kept the dogs and one kid. Sweet! 

This was SUPER easy and everyone enjoyed it! Not the most nutritious meal I've made but I'll make it again and add a side of veggies! Of course I had to make a few adjustments. The original recipe is here. 

Ingredients:
1 lb ground turkey
4 cups of chicken broth, low sodium
4-5 cloves of garlic, minced
1 TB dried parsley
1 TB dried basil

1 chopped onion
1, 28 oz can of diced tomatoes, low sodium
1, 6oz can of tomato paste
1 cup homemade tomato soup
1-2 cups couscous
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp salt

1 cup of water
Optional topping- shredded cheese

1. First mix together the can of tomatoes, and tomato paste in crockpot.

2. Next add broth, turkey, garlic, parsley, basil, onion, tomato soup, and salt/pepper.

3. Cover and cook on LOW for 7-8 hours or on HIGH for 4-5 hours.

4. When 30 minutes are left of cook time, add in the 1 cup of water and couscous. Stir to combine. Put lid back on and continue cooking for 30 minutes.

You do NOT have to brown the turkey before putting into the crock pot. I did not pre-cook the meat first. I was shocked when the recipe said this but I decided not to brown the meat to save time.
