PinIngredients
To make this soup, you’ll need extra virgin olive oil, red onion, celery, white mushrooms, ground turkey, Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt and black pepper, chicken broth, heavy cream, frozen riced cauliflower, Italian blend cheese, and fresh parsley.
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup red onion diced small
- 1 large stalks celery diced small
- 1 cup white mushrooms chopped
- 1 lb ground turkey 85% lean
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- sea salt and black pepper to taste
- 6 cups chicken broth preferably organic
- 1/2 cup heavy cream tempered
- 12 oz bag frozen riced cauliflower
- 2 cups Italian blend cheese shredded, divided
- 3 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
The Process
Start by heating the olive oil in a large skillet. Sautรฉ the onion and celery until they’re soft. Then add the mushrooms, ground turkey, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook until the turkey is no longer pink and the mushrooms have released their juices.
Next, reduce the heat and add chicken stock. Simmer for a few minutes, then temper the heavy cream with a spoonful of the hot liquid from the skillet before adding it to the soup. This prevents the cream from curdling when it hits the hot soup.
Add the frozen cauliflower rice and most of the shredded cheese to the skillet and stir until the cauliflower is heated through and the cheese is fully melted. Adjust the seasonings to your liking, then ladle the soup into bowls, topping each with a sprinkle of the remaining cheese and a garnish of fresh parsley.
PinThe Verdict
The Creamy Turkey Mushroom Soup is a testament to the fact that healthy, low-carb meals can be as flavorful and satisfying as their higher-carb counterparts. Whether you’re following a ketogenic diet or simply trying to reduce your carbohydrate intake, this soup is a delightful addition to your menu. So why not warm up with a bowl of this comforting soup? You might just find it becomes a new favorite in your cold-weather meal rotation. Enjoy!
