- In your large soup pot, heat three tablespoons of avocado oil over medium heat until it shimmers, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the chopped onions and minced garlic to the pot, sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent.
- Next, introduce four pounds of ground turkey or chicken to the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned.
- Stir in four tablespoons of Italian seasoning, four teaspoons of sea salt, paprika, and cayenne pepper; mix well for 1-2 minutes.
- Pour in sixteen cups of chicken broth, stirring gently to combine, raising heat to bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Add the chopped carrots, celery, green beans, sweet potatoes, and shredded cabbage to the pot and stir.
- Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and let the soup simmer for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, add two cans of drained chickpeas and 2-3 cups of quartered zucchini; stir and simmer for another 10-15 minutes.
- For final touches, squeeze the juice of one lemon into the soup and add a teaspoon of turmeric; adjust seasoning as needed.
