Smokey Turkey & Lentil Soup With Garlic Cheese Croutons

Preheat oven to 450 F. On a parchment paper-lined baking sheet toss bread with olive oil, garlic, garlic salt, dried oregano and Parmesan cheese. Bake for about 10 minutes, flip and bake for another 10, or until bread is crispy and dried. Remove from oven and set aside.

In a large Dutch oven or pot over medium high heat, add olive oil, onions, and garlic. Let the mixture bloom for 2 minutes. Add in chicken stock, lentils, smoked paprika, garlic salt, garlic powder and pepper. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat and let it cook for 10-20 minutes.

After 10 or 20 minutes add in celery and carrots and turkey or chicken. Let the soup simmer another 15 minutes. Add in mixed greens at the end, and cook just until wilted, about 3 minutes.

Spoon into bowls, top with Parmesan cheese and garlic croutons.

Enjoy!
