Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground turkey (or chicken, pork)
- 2 tablespoons canola oil (or coconut oil, or other neutral oil)
- 1 white onion, diced
- 1 small green cabbage, cored and sliced into thin strips
- 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons green onions (scallions), chopped, plus more for garnish
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha, or to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Brown Turkey: Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and season lightly with salt. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until it’s browned and no longer pink. Remove the cooked ground turkey from the pot and set it aside on a plate. Drain off excess fat if necessary.
- Sauté Onion: Add the canola oil (or coconut oil) to the same pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 5 minutes, or until softened and lightly translucent.
- Combine Soup Ingredients: Add the chicken broth, sliced cabbage, cooked turkey, Sriracha (if using), soy sauce (or coconut aminos), minced garlic, and grated ginger to the pot. Stir well to combine.
- Simmer: Bring the soup to a low simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the cabbage is wilted and tender to your liking.
- Finish and Serve: Stir in the toasted sesame oil and 2 tablespoons of chopped green onions. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt if needed. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with extra sliced green onions, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Meat: Ground turkey, chicken, or pork can be used interchangeably.
- Cabbage: Slice the cabbage thinly. Napa cabbage can also be substituted.
- Broth: Low-sodium chicken broth is recommended. Vegetable broth can be used for a variation.
- Soy Sauce Alternative: Coconut aminos are a good gluten-free and soy-free substitute for soy sauce.
- Spice Level: Adjust the amount of Sriracha (or omit it) based on your heat preference.
- Storage: Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently.
