This hearty cabbage and bean soup is a comforting and nutritious dish, perfect for any time of the year.
Heat a large pot over medium heat and cook the ground turkey until browned.
Break the turkey into small pieces as it cooks for even browning.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot and sauté until fragrant and softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and tomato paste.
Scrape the bottom of the pot to incorporate any browned bits for extra flavor.
Add the shredded cabbage, cannellini beans, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Ensure the cabbage is fully submerged in the liquid for even cooking.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until the cabbage is tender.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Serve the soup hot with a slice of crusty bread or a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or a dollop of sour cream for added flavor.
