Turkey hamburger soup

This soup is delicious and oh so good for you. It's filled with all kinds of vegetables and turkey, which is a great low fat meat. I got the original recipe form my nutritionist but tweaked it a little to our taste.

What I had:
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 large onion, minced
  • 4 garlic cloves, coarsely grated
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 large sweet potato, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
  • 4 carrots, cut into 1/2 inch circles
  • 1 cup chopped shiitake mushrooms
  • 6 cups vegetable broth
  • 6 baby bok choy heads, coarsely chopped
  • 1 cup cabbage, chopped
  • 2 tsp curry powder
  • 2 tsp turmeric
  • 1/4 cup raw apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp coconut amino acids (soy free gluten free soy sauce)
  • sea salt and ground pepper to taste
  • Sriracha
What I did:
  •  In a large pot, heated the coconut oil till melted.
  • Added the onions and garlic, cooked till onions were translucent.
  • Added ground turkey and let it cook.
  • Added the sweet potato, carrots and mushrooms with half the broth and let it cook for 15 minutes on medium heat.
  • Added the remaining broth, bok choy, cabbage and the dry spices and give it a good mixing.
  • Add the vinegar and amino acids and simmer for as long as you want till the vegetables are falling apart.
  • Serve with a splash of Sriracha in each bowl.
It is sweet and fragrant and very good for you on a cold evening :)

I have also cooked it in the crock pot. After the turkey is cooked, I mixed all the ingredients and threw it in the crock pot, on low for 10 hrs. It was great that way too.
