Ingredients
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Onion, chopped
- 1 large
- Garlic, minced
- 3 cloves
- Carrots, chopped
- 2 large
- Celery, chopped
- 2 stalks
- Cabbage, chopped
- 1 medium head
- Ground turkey
- 1 pound
- Chicken broth

- 1 (15-ounce) can
- Bay leaf
- 1 leaf
- Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon

Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the carrots, celery, and cabbage to the pot. Cook for another 5 minutes, or until the vegetables start to soften.
- Push the vegetables to one side of the pot and add the ground turkey. Cook until the turkey is browned and no longer pink, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks.
- Stir in the chicken broth, diced tomatoes with their juice, bay leaf, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together.
- Before serving, remember to remove the bay leaf. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. Enjoy this comforting, hearty soup on a cold day!
Tips
- For a vegetarian version, substitute the ground turkey with a can of white beans or lentils. You can also add other vegetables like chopped bell peppers or zucchini for more nutritional value. If you have fresh herbs on hand, feel free to add those as well.
