Koroneiki EVOO and Plum Basil Hamburger Soup

There is nothing better sounding to me than soup on a cold blustery Autumn day, this soup is phenomenal and the Koroneiki EVOO adds complexity to each and every bite you take. What I love about this oil is it is robust, meaning you can cook with it but not loose its flavor throughout your meal. It adds richness and a subtle spiciness that I love, and apparently my family loves too. Enjoy!

Koroneiki EVOO Hamburger Soup

2 Tablespoons Koroneiki ( enough to coat your saute pan)

1 red onion, thinly sliced

1-2 cloves garlic, chopped

Handful of fresh basil, chopped

salt and pepper to taste

Place saute pan on stove, set temperature to medium high. Add oil and let sit for about a minute. Add onion, garlic, basil and salt and pepper to pan. Saute for about 5-7 minutes. To this add:

1- 1.5 pounds ground turkey

3 Tablespoons plum basil

Brown meat then add:

2 cans petite diced tomatoes

6 cups chicken stock

1 crown broccoli, chopped

2 cups kale, chopped

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Simmer on low for about 30 minutes. Serve with a fresh green salad. If you like something spicy try this soup with a slight drizzle of the Habenero EVOO accompanied with the Plum Basil Vinegar, yum! Enjoy!
