Turkey soup with cabbage
Description
The soup is simple and quick to prepare. Turkey meat, popular in the USA and Canada, is considered lean meat (although you wouldn't guess that by looking at Americans, right? ;)), so various turkey dishes are recommended for people who want to lose weight. One of the tastiest turkey soups is turkey and cabbage soup, a recipe for which was given to me by a good acquaintance living in Montreal. According to him, turkey and cabbage soup is one of the most popular first courses served in simple, non-gourmet cafes and canteens there. Well then, let's try making something similar ourselves. Serve with fresh herbs and sour cream.

While the broth is cooking, let's prepare the vegetables. Cut parsnip and celery into thin julienne strips, carrots into large cubes, onions into thick julienne strips, and simply crush the garlic with the flat side of a knife.
