Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 carrots, sliced

1/2 head of cabbage, shredded

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

6 cups chicken broth

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon dried thyme

2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped

Instructions

Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic; sauté for about 5 minutes until onion is translucent.

Add Vegetables: Stir in sliced carrots and shredded cabbage. Cook for 5 minutes until they begin to soften.

Add Chicken and Broth: Stir in shredded chicken. Pour in chicken broth and add salt, pepper, and dried thyme.

Simmer: Bring soup to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.

Finish: Adjust seasoning to taste. Stir in fresh dill just before serving.

Serve: Ladle into bowls and serve hot with bread, salad, or your favorite side.

Notes

Creamy Option: Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream after simmering for a richer version.

Add-Ins: Try diced potatoes, spinach, or green beans for extra veggies.

Spicy Kick: Add red pepper flakes or hot sauce.

Turkey Swap: Use leftover turkey instead of chicken—great for post-holiday meals.

Gluten-Free: Ensure broth is certified gluten-free and pair with gluten-free bread.
