Description
A hearty and flavorful turkey rice soup made in the Instant Pot, perfect for a warm meal any time.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 lbs. ground turkey
- 1 tbsp + 2 tsp. olive oil
- 1 cup finely diced onion
- 1 cup finely diced celery
- 2 cups finely chopped cabbage
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 2 tsp. Spike Seasoning (see notes)
- 2 tsp. Poultry Seasoning
- 8 cups chicken broth (see notes)
- 2 tbsp Turkey Soup Base (see notes)
- 2 cups frozen cauliflower rice (see notes)
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Heat oil in the Instant Pot on SAUTE, HIGH.
- Add the ground turkey and cook until the turkey is nicely browned, breaking turkey apart and scraping the bottom a few times with a plastic turner. This will take about 10 minutes.
- Season the cooked turkey with a little salt and fresh-ground black pepper.
- While turkey cooks, chop the onion, chop the celery, and slice and coarsely chop the cabbage.
- Remove turkey to a bowl, and heat a few teaspoons more olive oil in the Instant Pot.
- Add onion, celery, cabbage, garlic, Spike Seasoning, and Poultry Seasoning and cook for five minutes, stirring a few times.
- Add the cooked turkey back into the pot and stir to combine with vegetables.
- Add the chicken broth, plus 2 tbsp Turkey Soup Base.
- Set Instant Pot to MANUAL, HIGH, for 10 minutes cooking time.
- While soup cooks, take the cauliflower rice out of the freezer and break it apart.
- When time is up, use NATURAL RELEASE for ten minutes; then release the rest of the pressure.
- Add cauliflower rice to the pot.
- Set Instant Pot to SAUTE, MEDIUM, and cook the soup about 10 minutes or until the cauliflower rice seems done.
- Check for seasoning and adjust with salt and fresh ground black pepper if needed.
- Stir in the balsamic vinegar and serve hot, with coarsely-grated Parmesan cheese at the table if desired.
Notes
- Spike Seasoning is an all-purpose seasoning blend that can be substituted with other blends.
- Turkey Soup Base can be replaced with Homemade Turkey Stock for added flavor.
- If you have leftover turkey, chop up about 3-4 cups and add it later in the cooking process.
- This recipe can also be adapted for stove preparation; follow directions in the original recipe.
