Tuscan Turkey Soup and Gooseberry Patch giveaway

When Gooseberry Patch asked me to review their new cookbook, Hometown Christmas I was excited to check out the delicious recipes inside, especially the baked goods! But after reading through every page I was pleasantly surprised to find numerous recipes I wanted to try that were not just desserts but also Crockpot dishes, soups and stews, and party appetizers. 
So I decided this tasty Tuscan Turkey Soup would be the first recipe I would share with you today. It features ground turkey, beans, orzo pasta, and hearty veggies. Perfect for this time of year! 
Serve with toasted bread for dipping.

🍜 We had so much fun celebrating Lunar New Year last weekend with dinner at @pho_85_noodle_house_llc in Bentonville, AR! The Banh Mi sandwich and Beef and Seafood Pho soups were filled with fresh ingredients and flavor packed. As you can see their portions were huge so it's a great place to share! We also tried an appetizer sampler, Thai Tea, Coconut Boba Smoothie (my girls' favorite) and macarons for dessert. Everything was made to order and delicious. The staff was kind and helpful. If you live near by, check them out and #eatlocall ! ❤️ @visitbentonville #Bentonville  #pho85noodlehouse #arkansasfoodie #whatsfordinner #arkansasblogger #supportlocal #bentonvillearkansas #lunarnewyear #chinesenewyear
