Low Carb Cabbage Soup

This low carb cabbage soup made with ground turkey is such an easy and healthy dinner made on the stove top.

It is a great keto friendly recipe but if you want to add more sustenance feel free to add cooked rice!

Often times not everyone in a household is focused on a low carb recipe so it's great to have an option add carbs for those who need it.

I use a beef barbacoa seasoning packet to give this recipe a smoky Mexican cabbage soup flavor.

What do you need to make this low carb cabbage soup?

• ½ a head of green cabbage
• 1 lb. ground turkey
• can of diced tomatoes
• tomato paste
• chicken broth
• apple cider vinegar
• white onion
• green bell pepper
• 1 package beef barbacoa seasoning

Substitutions:

• Instead of ground turkey you could use ground beef, ground chicken, or ground pork.
• I almost always  use frozen diced onion and bell pepper- its so much easier!
• Another lazy hack is to use 2 bags of sliced cabbage for coleslaw rather than chopping cabbage.
• If you can't find barbacoa seasoning you could use taco seasoning or make your seasoning combination with: cumin, chili powder, onion powder, and garlic powder plus salt and pepper to taste.

Toppings:

Because of the smoky flavor of barbacoa in this Mexican cabbage soup I highly recommend topping with Greek yogurt or sour cream! It's also wonderful with some fresh cilantro.

How to make:

This is such a simple stovetop mexican cabbage soup recipe all you do is:

1. Sauté onion and bell pepper for about 2 minutes.
2. Add ground turkey and cook until browned.
3. Stir in tomatoes, tomato paste, broth, and apple cider vinegar and bring to a boil.
4. Add chopped cabbage, turn to simmer, and cook for 5 minutes.

Notes:

If you like your cabbage cooked more give it more time, I tend to veer towards a cooked cabbage but slighttttly crunchy still.
