Chicken Soup with Cabbage
First up, feast your eyes on this deliciousness:

Now, here’s what you’ll need to whip up this delightful pot of warm goodness:
Ingredients:
- 1 whole chicken (about 3-4 pounds), cut into pieces
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 2 celery stalks, sliced
- 1 small head of cabbage, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Start by heating the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once it’s hot, add the chopped onion and sauté until it’s translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Next, toss in the carrots and celery. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until they start to soften up.
- Now it’s time to add the garlic. Stir it in and let it cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the chicken pieces to the pot, followed by the chicken broth, dried thyme, and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Bring everything to a boil.
- Once it’s boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes. This will let those flavors meld together beautifully.
- After 30 minutes, take the chicken out of the pot and shred the meat off the bones. Discard the skin and bones, and return the shredded chicken back to the pot.
- Add the chopped cabbage to the soup, and let it simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the cabbage is tender.
- Finally, taste your soup and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve it hot, garnished with fresh parsley if you like.
