Cabbage Roll Soup

This soup captures all the delicious flavors of traditional cabbage rolls in a fraction of the time.

A hearty and healthy Cabbage Roll Soup is just the thing to warm you up on a chilly afternoon. Just be sure to prep the Paleo Chicken Bone Broth ahead of time with this recipe. You can also use Vegetable Broth to give your soup a more earthy flavor.

Note that both recipes make more than four cups of broth, but you can freeze the leftovers to use later in one of these savory recipes below:

Feel free to use shredded chicken in this recipe instead of ground turkey for a different flavor profile. For more nutrients, add various veggies—the more the merrier!

Tip: Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) omissions and substitutions are listed in the recipe ingredients.
