I struggle getting Taylor to eat healthy foods, but when she tried this and wanted more and more and more....I about died! Taylor LOVED this soup! And it has VERY healthy stuff in it, so this is definitely top of my list. IT IS SOOOOO GOOD! Gotta try this one!
I added a few things to this soup, so keep or take out whatever you wish, but DON'T take out the cabbage! You don't even know it's there!
2 Tblsp butter
1/4-1/2 a whole cabbage, chopped
1/2 onion, peeled and diced (I used 1/4)
2 potatoes, peeled and diced
3 carrots, peeled and diced
1 stalk celery, sliced
3/4 cup frozen peas (can use green beans or lima beans)
3/4 cup canned corn (or diced yellow pepper)
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1, 1/2 tblsp flour
32-38oz (about 4 cups) chicken stock (the rest water
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (a must!)
salt, pepper to taste
I also added some fresh cilantro (optional)
Parsley for garnish (optional)
1-2 chicken breasts cooked and shredded (I love to use my bottled chicken)-so easy
Add water if needed and additional seasonings to your liking
Melt butter in 3 quart saucepan. Add onion and celery; saute over med heat for 3-4 minutes to soften. Add flour and stir, cooking for about one minute. Add chicken stock gradually while stirring. Add 3 cups water and bring to a boil. Add carrots first boil for 5 minutes. Add rest of vegetables, potatoes and thyme seasoning. Reduce heat to medium low and cook for approx 20 minutes.
Reduce heat to lowest setting, add in shredded chicken, stir in cream, salt and pepper and cilantro to taste and allow to heat through for about 5 minutes. Serve and garnish with chopped parsley (optional).
DELICIOUS!
