This deeply nourishing soup is the kind of bowl that makes you feel better just by looking at it. Ground turkey, sweet potato, carrots, and a generous heap of green cabbage all simmer together in bone broth until everything is tender and the flavors have melded into something truly comforting. Turmeric, ginger, thyme, and oregano give it a warm, earthy backbone, while a splash of apple cider vinegar at the end brightens the whole pot beautifully. Every single ingredient here is whole and straightforward — no nuts, no nut-based thickeners, no hidden additives to second-guess. That makes it a genuinely safe and satisfying choice for anyone navigating tree nut sensitivities, since so many cozy, creamy soups rely on blended cashews for body. This one gets its richness from the broth and the natural starch of the sweet potato instead, so you're not missing a thing. Finish it with a handful of fresh parsley and you've got a bowl that's as pretty as it is restorative.

Ingredients

6 servings

1 tbsp coconut oil
1 lb ground turkey
1 medium yellow onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into rounds
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into ¾-inch cubes
½ medium head green cabbage, cored and roughly chopped (about 5 cups)
6 cups bone broth
1 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp salt, plus more to taste

For serving

2 tbsp fresh parsley, roughly chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Heat the coconut oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until no pink remains and the meat is cooked through to 165°F (74°C), about 6–8 minutes. Transfer the cooked turkey to a plate and set aside.
2
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion to the same pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 4–5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
