Description

A hearty and healthy turkey and cabbage soup that is perfect for a cozy meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 450 grams lean ground turkey
  • 2 onions (finely diced)
  • 3 small carrots (finely diced)
  • 5 garlic cloves (minced)
  • salt (taste and adjust)
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup jasmine rice (rinsed)
  • 4 cups chopped green cabbage
  • 5 cups unsalted broth
  • 5 cups water
  • big handful of fresh dill (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the ground turkey and cook for about 8–10 minutes, breaking it up as it cooks, until fully cooked through.
  3. Add the onions and carrots and sauté for a few minutes until softened and translucent.
  4. Stir in the garlic and cook just until fragrant.
  5. Add the salt and the tomato paste and cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring, until it deepens in colour.
  6. Add the rinsed rice and stir, followed by the chopped cabbage, broth, and water. Stir well and bring to a boil.
  7. Once boiling, reduce to a gentle simmer and cook uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the cabbage is soft.
  8. Finish with a big handful of fresh dill, give it a final stir, and taste to adjust the salt if needed.
  9. A fresh squeeze of lemon juice will brighten it up.
  10. Top with a scoop of yogurt or sour cream if you wish!
  11. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • For added flavor, consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice just before serving.
  • This soup can easily be stored in the fridge for a few days and tastes even better the next day.
