This hearty and nourishing chicken and cabbage soup is packed with vegetables, shredded chicken, and herbs. Perfect for a cozy weeknight meal or when you're feeling under the weather, this simple recipe delivers comforting flavors in every bowl.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the sliced carrots and shredded cabbage to the pot, stirring occasionally, and cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Stir in the shredded chicken and pour in the chicken broth. Add the salt, black pepper, and dried thyme.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Stir in the fresh dill just before serving.
Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot, with your choice of side.
Notes
This soup keeps well in the refrigerator for a few days and tastes even better the next day. Feel free to add potatoes or swap in kale for added variety.
