Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 pound Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast (chopped into large pieces to cook faster)
2 Celery Ribs (chopped)
2 medium Carrots (peeled and sliced)
1 Green Pepper (chopped)
1 medium Sweet Onion (diced)
1/2 medium Head Cabbage (chopped)
14 oz Marinara Sauce (one can)
6 cups Chicken or Vegetable stock
1 cup Frozen Peas (no need to thaw)

Method

Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a Dutch oven or a soup pot over medium-high heat.
Add chicken and cook until golden brown and no longer pink inside, about 10-12 minutes. Set aside on a chopping board and shred it with 2 forks until finely shredded.
To the same pot add celery, carrots, green peppers, onions, and stir fry for about 5 minutes until softened.
Stir in shredded chicken, cabbage, marinara sauce, and chicken stock. Stir well and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until cabbage is tender.
Add in frozen peas, garlic salt, garlic powder, and pepper, mix until well combined. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes more, just until peas are done.
Garnish with fresh parsley, then pour into warm bowls and serve immediately.

Notes

– For extra flavor, brown the chicken until deeply golden before shredding.
– If you prefer a thicker soup, you can mash a portion of the cooked vegetables against the side of the pot before adding the peas.
– When I first started making this, I used to overcook the cabbage, which made it too soft. Now, I always check for tenderness around the 15-minute mark to ensure it retains a slight bite.
– Leftover chicken cabbage soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. It also freezes well for up to 2 months.
