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 simmer together in bone broth until everything is tender and the flavors have melded into something genuinely comforting. Turmeric, ginger, thyme, and oregano do the heavy lifting on flavor, giving the broth a warm, golden depth that tastes like it took far more effort than it did. A splash of apple cider vinegar stirred in at the end brightens the whole pot and keeps the ingredient list clean — no hidden yeast-containing additives, no fermented condiments, no store-bought shortcuts that could sneak in unwanted ingredients. For anyone navigating a yeast-free approach, soups can be a minefield of yeast extract, bouillon cubes, and vinegars that don't make the cut, so building this one from scratch with bone broth and simple pantry spices is the move. Finish each bowl with a scatter of fresh parsley and you've got a meal that's as satisfying as it is straightforward.

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.
