Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 tsp garlic, minced
  • 2 lbs ground turkey (or ground chicken)
  • 2 Tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 8 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup celery, chopped
  • 1 cup green beans, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 2 cups sweet potato, peeled and cubed
  • 1.5 cups cabbage, shredded
  • 1 (28 oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1–2 cups zucchini, sliced and quartered
  • Optional: Fresh parsley or thyme for garnish

Instructions

1. In a large soup pot over medium heat, add the avocado oil. Once hot, sauté the chopped onions until soft and translucent, about 3–4 minutes.

2. Add minced garlic and sauté for another 1–2 minutes.

3. Add ground turkey and cook until fully browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Stir in the Italian seasoning, sea salt, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne. Cook for 2–3 more minutes to coat the meat evenly.

4. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low-medium.

5. Add chopped carrots and celery. Simmer for 10 minutes.

6. Add green beans, sweet potatoes, and shredded cabbage. Simmer for another 15–20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes begin to soften.

7. Stir in diced tomatoes, chickpeas, and zucchini. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes, until the zucchini is tender.

8. When ready to serve, garnish with fresh parsley or thyme and enjoy.

Notes

This soup stores well in the fridge for up to 4–5 days.

Freeze individual portions for up to 3 months for easy reheating.

Feel free to swap in different vegetables based on what you have on hand.

For a spicier version, increase the cayenne pepper or add crushed red pepper flakes.
