Introduction

I pick up my CSA bag on Wednesdays, which means that whatever's left hanging around has got to go! Heat up a pot of stock and go to it...

NOTE: The sodium for this recipe is incorrect. I used homemade stock with no added sodium, but substituted boxed broth in the ingredient calculator.

Ingredients

    *6-7 cups of chicken stock/broth
    *2 tbsp. tomato paste
    *1 head chinese cabbage
    *1 onion, rough chop
    *2 baby onions, rough chop
    *3 garlic scapes, fine dice
    *1 cup sugar snap peas
    *A few sprigs of thyme, parsley, sage, and oregano, fine dice
    *About 1/2 lb. of white meat poultry. I used 5 ounces of left over roasted chicken and 2.5 ounces of smoked turkey breast), rough chop
    *Salt + pepper

Directions

*Prep your vegetables and bring the stock to a boil over high heat.
*Saute the onions and garlic scapes (or cloves--what ever you have is fine) until fragrant and then add them to the pot.
*Add the cabbage and snow peas and bring the soup back to a simmer.
*Add the meat, herbs, salt, pepper, and tomato paste and then simmer for 1 hour or until the taste suits you. This batch had a really great flavor from the smoked turkey breast!

Makes about 7 servings, but they are quite low calorie, so feel free to freeze in double-portions.
