Chicken Cabbage Soup

Today was a day that was all about simple foods with simple flavors.   I was in the mood to make a pot of chicken soup but I wanted it to be a bit different than my usual recipe.  I thought of incorporating tender cabbage instead of noodles or rice.  I’m glad that I did.  My chicken cabbage soup is light, delicately flavored and includes some of my favorite Asian ingredients such as soy sauce and mirin.  Enjoy!  Tessa

Ingredients:

• 6 cups chicken stock
• 1 cup chopped cooked chicken
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 4 cups chopped cabbage
• 1 Tbs low sodium soy sauce
• 2 tsp mirin
• pinch of white pepper
• 1/2 cup shredded carrot
• chopped cilantro for garnish

Grab a large sauce pan and add all the ingredients with the exception of the cilantro.  Cook until the vegetables are tender.  Ladle up and garnish with the cilantro.  Makes about 6 servings.
