We leave for the mountains this week so I have been trying to use up what we have in our fridge. I had all this on hand except I had to pick up the rotisserie chicken. It was so rainy and dreary here yesterday and I was craving a big bowl of soup. This one was so wonderful and so healthy. The combo of the herbs, lemon juice, chicken, cabbage and broth is so soothing and bright.
I love my fancy EPIC Homestyle Savory Chicken bone broth (I mean once you try it is it is hard to go back) but I did a mix of it and standard broth. Funny story is I got hooked on this broth when I had my last colonoscopy and could only eat broth. I wanted a good broth if that was going to be my only food and I have been hooked ever since. I drink it alone often or use in soups. I order from Amazon or buy at Whole Foods. I also LOVE the jalapeño beef flavor!
This soup takes about 30 minutes to make and is so filling! Serve with Parmesan cheese and crusty bread if desired! Enjoy!
