Ground Turkey & Vegetable Soup

Umami is one of the 5 recognized flavors of food (sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and umami). It is a savory taste that can be described as pleasant, brothy, meaty, and mouthwatering.

The best part? Umami flavor could help you feel more satiated (feel fuller) and feel more satisfied after a meal. Try this easy ground turkey and vegetable soup seasoned with liquid aminos for that umami punch.
