This healthy and satisfying chicken cabbage soup is the perfect comfort food for those cold winter days or any other time really!
Happy 2019 to all of you! A new year with new resolutions. One resolution that I believe we all have in common is to eat healthier and try to reduce the number of calories we consumed. This Chicken Cabbage Soup is low in carbs, low in calories, high in protein and full of flavor. I wanted to start the new year with a recipe that will make you feel satisfied and full of energy. This chicken cabbage soup is one of my favorites. It’s easy to make and there’s no need to feel guilty if you decide to go for seconds.
You can put this soup together with just a few simple ingredients. All you need is chicken, cabbage, carrots, and celery. I called it my four C’s Soup.
How to make this healthy chicken cabbage soup:
Step 1: Cut the chicken tenderloin in bite-size pieces. Then, season with garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2: Dice the carrots, celery, and cabbage.
Step 3: Over medium-high heat, add a teaspoon of oil in the soup pot. Add the chicken and stir occasionally while it cooks for three minutes, then add the water.
Step 4: Add all the vegetables and cook for about 15 to 20 minutes
Tips and suggestions:
- If you want this soup to have a little more healthy fat, just use chicken wings instead of the tenderloins. I love to use chicken wings as well cause I personally love any meat with bones.
- Substitute water with low sodium chicken or vegetable broth.
- I like to garnish my soup with a few Japaleño slices for some heat.
Another amazing healthy soup is my Smoke Ham, Kale White Bean Soup
