    @DonnasHealthyJourney it sounds great! I absolutely love cabbage and especially cabbage soup. Always glad to try a new recipe with ingredients I like. Bonus. Sounds very healthy, too! More bonuses. Low calorie, low fat, low sugar, high fiber. Sounds like a real "all you can eat" food.

    OP didn't say she believed that.

    She just copied the name of the recipe and then made her own alterations, that's all

    If there really were such a thing as a soup that could detoxify you, and it was a vegetarian soup, why would you think it would still detoxify you after you alter the recipe and add turkey? Either you believe in the original magical detoxifying formula and the authority of its creator, or you don't.

    I don’t believe in the detox. OP didn’t say that either—she was calling it by its name, and it’s not new. I had a church cookbook from the 80s that had it. Many variations have ground turkey in it.

    I think the concept of detoxing with diet is bunk and would say so on a post promoting it. This doesn’t seem like that kind of post. She’s sharing results of a common recipe with an unfortunate name that has stuck for a few decades. It’s still tasty, filling, and low calorie.

    The only detox that works is when you get thrown in the jail to dry out after getting arrested for DUI.

    One thing I really like about soup recipes is that they are a guide - one can make variations, additions etc and it turns out fine

    Hearty soup in winter is just perfect.

    I’m glad you posted this recipe! My grandmother made this all the time in the 70’s and 80”s! She always had a piece of toast with some cottage cheese and half a cling peach for breakfast and this was her lunch if we were home. Hadn’t thought of that for years…

    Probably not what your grandmother made in the 70s and 80s, as the original recipe by this name didn't have turkey -- it was part of an extreme low-calorie diet plan.

    Potentially. I was never allowed to eat any of the soup—it was for “grown up ladies” and kids didn’t need to be eating it.

    Your soup looks delicious! People love to pick things apart online.

    Granny made this soup too. With chicken. So good!
    And I found weight watchers recipe for "cheese danish" back then, too. Spread cottage cheese on toast, slice a canned peach half and arrange on top. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake until cottage cheese starts to melt. It didn't taste anything like cheese Danish, but it was a favorite after school snack.

    LOL. Got to keep those kids away from veggie soup!

    I don't remember the 70s and 80s as being so weird, but I guess most things don't seem weird when you're growing up in the middle of them.

    Diet culture runs strong in my family. I don't remember a time when my grandmothers/mom/aunts weren't on a diet of some kind. We didn't have sweets of pretty much any kind in our house (graham crackers and sometimes fruit were it), only drank skim milk, women usually at off of salad plates and almost never the same meal as the rest of us. All of it was presented as just part of what it means to be a woman. To me it's weird that this wasn't how it was for everyone else too.

    Once you know a forum culture, you can sidestep semantic battles.

    For example, everyone I know in real life says "processed food" when technically they mean "ultra processed/highly processed food." Here on MFP, using "processed food" for UPF can derail a conversation. I have come to see that UPF is more precise, and so use it myself now. And I often drop in a link to the NOVA definition:

    I love both soup and cabbage, so this looks absolutely delicious. It prompted me to go searching for a similar recipe and I edited it to add everything else you said is in yours. I can't wait to make it!

    I think of 'detox' as a treatment for helping your body end its addiction to drug or alcohol abuse...cabbage soup just won't cut it. That said, the soup looks delicious!

    Come on.

    We know it is just a name and nobody is making any detox claims - been clarified over and over.

    Let's leave that alone now

    Lots of people do. Is food toxic, no of course not. Are diets toxic, well, the SAD diet all over the world is killing people (said for theatrics, but true) then some might consider cabbage soup with turkey as a "detox" method in this context. Personally I would have used rabbit, I like rabbit better than turkey, although I have come close a few times in my area coming into contact with a wild turkey with the front end of my car, then quite possibly I would be using turkey. cheers.
