Nothing helps keep me full and satisfied like a big bowl of warm, vegetable-filled homemade caraway soup. I wanted to make one that was extremely healthy and low in calories. I added meat to the soup because I wanted the ‘staying power that protein provides while keeping the fat level very low. That’s the main reason I opted to use lean ground turkey as opposed to ground pork or beef, but you could use whatever ground meat you like or even leave the meat out for a vegetarian version!
