Categories     Soup

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil plus more for drizzling
1/3 cup chopped shallots (2-3 large shallots)
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 pound ground turkey
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
4-6 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
2 cups tomato puree
1 medium cauliflower, leaves and core removed, the rest roughly chopped (to substitute cauliflower rice, see notes below)
2 teaspoons dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes
1 bunch of curly kale, leaves pulled from the thick stems and roughly chopped
Grated parmesan cheese for serving

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven. Sauté shallots over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, until soft. Add the garlic and sauté for a minute longer. Add turkey and salt. Cook, stirring and tossing, until turkey loses its pink color, 4 minutes or so.
  • Add 4 cups of broth, tomato puree, cauliflower, basil, oregano and crushed red pepper. Bring to a boil, lower to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
  • Use an immersion blender to puree three quarters of the soup, or less if you prefer a chunkier texture. If you don't have an immersion blender, puree the soup in a food processor or blender and return it to the pot. Add additional broth if you want to thin the soup.
  • Add shredded kale to the pot and heat the soup for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until the kale wilts and the soup is heated through.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls. Drizzle with a little olive oil and top generously with grated parmesan.
