Turkey vegetable soup from Cooking Well

The brighter the ingredients, the better!

With winter weather persisting, it might be cold outside, but you don’t have to be! If you’re a fan of keeping it cozy with soups and stews, then you have to check out our PKD cookbook, Cooking Well. This week, our Director of Patient & Community Engagement, Nicole Harr, tried out the Turkey Vegetable Soup recipe. Here’s what she had to say:

  • This recipe was super easy to follow and an added bonus – our house smelled fantastic!
  • I substituted oregano for the curry powder, so you can incorporate your favorite seasoning flavors if you like.
  • This is a great recipe to make as the weather gets colder and you are looking for something warm and delicious.

This recipe has low sodium, high fluid and high acid content. Remember to consult your doctor or dietitian about what recipes and practices are best for you at your stage of PKD.

Try this soup for yourself and let us know how it turns out in the comments below!

A slow simmer really brings out seasoning flavors.
