How To Make Ground Turkey Soup With Vegetables

Ingredients

• Extra virgin olive oil — Avocado oil also works!
• Mirepoix — A combination of diced onion, carrots and celery.
• Protein — Lean ground turkey goes perfectly in this soup, but you can also use ground beef or ground chicken.
• Garlic — You can mince up a couple of fresh cloves by hand, although a jar of minced garlic also works well and can save you some time.
• Seasonings — I generally use salt, black pepper and Italian seasonings.
• Tomatoes — Canned, crushed tomatoes or diced tomatoes add the best flavor!
• Potatoes — Use any type of potato, you can also substitute parsnips.
• Parsley — Optional garnish for extra color and flavor. You can also use cilantro.

Instructions

Sauté mirepoix, brown turkey:

• Place a large pot on the stovetop, then add olive oil and turn heat to high.
• Once the oil is hot, reduce heat to medium and add diced onion, carrot and celery. Sauté veggies until they begin to soften (this will take around 5 minutes).
• Next, add your ground turkey and seasonings, then use a wooden spoon to break up the turkey and allow it to brown completely. Stir all the ingredients together.

Add broth and simmer:

• Once the turkey is completely cooked, add broth, crushed tomatoes and potato chunks.
• Turn heat to medium-high heat and bring ingredients to a boil, then cover the pot with a lid and reduce heat. Simmer 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes become tender.

Serve:

• Do a quick taste test and adjust seasonings as needed, then garnish soup with fresh parsley and ladle into serving bowls. Enjoy!

How To Store Leftovers

To Store: Allow leftovers to cool down and place the ground turkey soup with vegetables in an airtight container, then put it in the refrigerator for up 5 days.

To Freeze: Place cooled leftovers in an airtight, freezer-safe container and store frozen for up to 3 months. Don’t fill your container too full because soup expands when it freezes, leave a bit of space at the top!

To Reheat: Reheat leftovers in a pot or saucepan on the stovetop, or you can certainly pop ground turkey soup in the microwave!

What To Serve With Ground Turkey Soup With Vegetables

• Any kind of bread: This cozy soup goes great with crostini, a warm sourdough baguette, crunchy garlic bread, gluten-free cornbread with a drizzle of sweet honey or low-carb dinner rolls and garlic butter.
• Savory scones or biscuits: Just like bread, biscuits or these yummy bacon and cheese scones are perfect for dipping in broth. Cauliflower muffins are a nice, low-carb alternative.
• Crunchy crackers: Sprinkle some crushed saltine or low-carb almond flour crackers on top of your soup!
• Soup & salad: This classic combo is always a winner. Try my arugula salad, easy red cabbage salad or brussels sprouts and bacon salad.
• Grilled Cheese Sammies: Don’t reserve grilled cheese for tomato soup night, it goes great with all different types of soup!

Recipe Variations

Add grain or legumes: Throw in a handful of rice, lentils or beans to make your soup a little more filling.  

Add noodles: If you don’t need this recipe to be gluten free, add some pasta! Orzo, bow tie, gemelli, macaroni, orecchiette, whatever you like. And there are actually some great gluten-free pasta brands on the market today if you really want pasta on a wheat-free diet. You can even add some rice or brown rice.

Make it creamy! This recipe is dairy free, but if you don’t need it to be you can add a splash of heavy creamy of half and half to create a creamy version.

Use other veggies: Peas, corn, broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, brussels sprouts, green beans, chopped bell peppers, whatever you want!

Add other spices: I typically use salt, pepper and Italian seasonings in this ground turkey with vegetables soup. Feel free to use other seasonings and herbs like paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, dried oregano, rosemary, bay leaf etc. If you like spicy food add some cayenne pepper.

Sub a different protein: You can also substitute ground beef or ground chicken for turkey.
