Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup cauliflower, chopped
- 1 cup celery, chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a small amount of oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent and slightly softened, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add minced garlic to the pot and cook for an additional 30-45 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning and release the aromatic flavors.
- Add ground turkey to the pot, breaking it up with a wooden spoon or spatula. Cook the turkey until it is completely browned and no pink remains, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking, about 6-8 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth and add chopped cauliflower and celery to the pot. Stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning according to your preference.
- Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes, allowing the vegetables to become tender and the flavors to meld together.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove from heat and let the soup rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
- Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve immediately. Optional: Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for added flavor.
Tips
- Choose high-quality ground turkey with a slightly higher fat content (85/15 or 90/10) for maximum flavor and moisture.
- Chop vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking and consistent texture throughout the soup.
- Don't rush the sautéing process - taking time to caramelize onions and garlic builds a deeper flavor foundation.
- Use homemade or low-sodium chicken broth to control the salt content and keep the soup keto-friendly.
- For extra richness, consider adding a splash of heavy cream or a pat of butter when serving.
- If you prefer a thicker soup, you can use xanthan gum as a low-carb thickening agent.
- Fresh herbs like parsley or thyme can elevate the soup's flavor profile, so don't skip the garnish!
