Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 1 pound ground sausage
Vegetables
- 1 cup carrots, sliced
- 16 ounces green cabbage, shredded
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
Liquids and Oils
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 5 cups chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or coconut aminos
Spices and Seasonings
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
Instructions
- Cook the sausage: In a large pot over medium heat, add the ground sausage. Stir and crumble it as it cooks until it is browned and fully cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
- Sauté the vegetables: Add the sesame oil, diced onion, and sliced carrots to the pot with the cooked sausage. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften, about 5 minutes.
- Add broth and seasonings: Pour in the chicken broth, then add the shredded cabbage, soy sauce or coconut aminos, ground ginger, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Simmer the soup: Allow the soup to come to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes or until the cabbage wilts and becomes tender but still has a slight crunch.
- Serve hot: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the chopped green onions for a fresh, vibrant finish. Enjoy immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce for a soy-free and slightly sweeter option.
- To keep it extra low carb, avoid adding noodles or rice.
- Ground turkey or chicken can be substituted for sausage for a leaner version.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt and pepper.
- Reheat gently to avoid overcooking the vegetables during leftovers.
