This deeply nourishing soup is the kind of bowl you reach for when your body needs a reset — warming, savory, and packed with real ingredients that actually do something good for you. Ground turkey and bone broth form a protein-rich base, while sweet potato and carrots add natural sweetness and body without any added sugars or sweeteners of any kind. A generous hit of turmeric and ginger gives the broth a golden, aromatic depth that smells incredible as it simmers. The cabbage wilts down into something silky and tender, soaking up all those spiced, savory juices along the way. A splash of apple cider vinegar at the end brightens everything up and ties the flavors together beautifully. Many soups and broths sneak in sweeteners through store-bought bases or seasoning blends, but every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify. Finish it with a handful of fresh parsley and you've got a bowl that feels like it's doing you a favor with every single spoonful.

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.
