Ingredients

• 1 lb ground chicken (or turkey or pork)
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 carrots, sliced or shredded
• 1 small head green cabbage, chopped
• 6–8 cups chicken broth
• 1–2 Tablespoons soy sauce or coconut aminos
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger (optional)
• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste
• Sliced green onions or sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)

Preparation

1. Brown the meat: Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground meat and cook until no longer pink, breaking it up as it cooks.
2. Add the vegetables: Stir in the onion, garlic, carrots, and cabbage. Cook for several minutes until the vegetables begin to soften and release their aroma.
3. Add broth and seasoning: Pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce (or coconut aminos), and ground ginger if using. Stir to combine.
4. Simmer: Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the flavors are well blended.
5. Serve: Ladle into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions or sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot.
