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. Want to cook all the soups this week? Try my Hearty Tuscan Tortellini Soup next!

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.
