Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb extra-lean ground turkey or lean ground beef (optional for extra protein)
- 1 tbsp olive oil (optional – skip for full zero point)
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 carrots, peeled & sliced
- 3 celery stalks, chopped
- 1/2 head green cabbage, chopped
- 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes (no salt added)

- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper (optional)
- Salt & black pepper to taste

Instructions
- In a large pot, brown the lean ground turkey or beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat. This step is optional but gives it a lean protein boost that keeps you full longer.
- Toss in the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5–6 minutes until softened.
- Stir in diced tomatoes, broth, tomato paste, and all the spices. Bring to a boil.
- Add chopped cabbage and simmer for 20–25 minutes until everything is tender.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot with fresh parsley.
Notes
- This soup is a great detox option and can be made in large batches for meal prep.
- Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preferences.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the meat and use vegetable broth.
