In this French-style healthy soup recipe, sausage, cabbage and root vegetables simmer together to make a comforting and healthy meal. Serve the soup piping hot with grated Parmesan cheese on the side. Like most soups, the flavors are even better if it's made a day ahead.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 pound Italian turkey sausage, mild or spicy, casings removed
1 cup chopped onion
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
⅛ teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 medium carrots, diced (1/2 inch)
2 small turnips, peeled and diced (1/2 inch)
1 medium celery root, peeled and diced (1/2 inch)
1 large Yukon Gold potato, peeled and diced (1/2 inch)
10 cups very thinly sliced green cabbage (about 1/2 medium head)
8 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
¾ cup dry white wine
1 cup chopped fresh tomato
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook, stirring frequently, until well browned, about 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel to drain.
Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, onion, garlic, salt and pepper; cook, stirring, until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add carrots, turnips, celery root and potato and cook, stirring once or twice, until starting to get tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add cabbage; cook until starting to wilt, about 2 minutes. Return the sausage to the pot and stir in broth, wine, tomato, rosemary and thyme. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer, cover and cook for 1 hour.
Uncover and simmer for 15 minutes to reduce the broth and intensify the flavor of the soup. Taste and add more pepper if desired. Serve topped with Parmesan.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
