Preparation steps

Place sliced eggplant in a large colander and sprinkle generously with salt. Let stand for 30 minutes to sweat the eggplant. Rinse thoroughly to remove the salt and pat dry with paper towels.

In a large soup pot, heat half of the olive oil over medium heat, add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add remaining olive oil, eggplant and onion; saute, stirring frequently until tender, about 10 minutes.

Add thyme and tomatoes including liquid; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring frequently to break up the tomatoes.

Add zucchini, chicken broth, and water; return to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes. Add cooked turkey or chicken and pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until pasta is al dente.

Ladle into serving bowls. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and serve with crusty bread.
