Ahhh Cabbage Soup.. What could be better?

Ingredients:

½ lb cooked chicken

½ head shredded cabbage, rinsed

½ of onion, chopped

1 cup of chopped or shredded carrots

1 cup peeled, chopped or diced potatoes (the smaller, the faster they cook)

1 cup diced celery

1 bay leaf

½ cup apple cider vinegar

¼ cup honey

1 can white beans, drained

32 oz chicken broth *

Salt and pepper

Olive oil for drizzling

Chives and sour cream for topping

In a large pot, add cabbage, onion, carrots, potatoes, celery, bay leaf, apple cider vinegar, honey, beans, and broth. Salt and pepper as you like. Cover and bring to a boil. Once pot comes to a boil, uncover and simmer until potatoes are tender. Add the cooked chicken in the last 5 mins of cooking just to heat through. Drizzle olive oil on each serving and top with fresh chives and sour cream if you desire!

*If you prefer to cook your own chicken, use the broth from your pot used. You may also desire to cook the carrots, potatoes and celery at the same time as the chicken. Once the chicken is done, turn off the heat; remove chicken from pot, and shred chicken once cooled. Add the rest of the ingredients: bay leaf cider vinegar, honey, beans, cabbage and simmer for 5 mins. Add chicken back to pot as above.
