  THE NO-SALT AND LITE SALTS ARE HIGH IN POTASSIUM AND DO DAMAGE TO YOUR KIDNEYS! USE REGULAR SALT: JUST USE 1/4 OR 1/2 THE AMOUNT CALLED FOR! IF YOU CAN DO WITHOUT IT TOTALLY, ALL THE BETTER! TRY USING A LITTLE DRIED THYME ALONG WITH FINELY GROUND CELERY SEED IN STEAD OF THE SALT, IT'S GOOD SEASONIG! - 12/23/08

  less sugar; add ginger for an asian concept and more veggies. You could also use low-salt chicken broth for even better flavor. I have made many soups like this and it always turns out good. It is light enough for cool spring nights. - 4/15/10

  Made this but used some left over pork from a pig roast...gave it a great smokey sweetness to it. Also added garlic, onion and celery. Definitely delish! - 10/23/08

  Can't wait to make this, but I'm going to try steeping a few stevia leaves in the broth for sweetness so I can cut down on the sugar--'cause I have a feeling I'm going to like this a LOT but I'm trying to eat less sugar. Thanks! - 12/15/09

  320 calories for cabbage soup is Way to high. I will use brown sugar splenda instead and also broil the chicken to remove fat and increase flavor of chicken. - 4/16/10

  I am all for cutting down on sugar...but people please please please stop using artifical sweetners like Splenda! Anyway...I love the idea of steeping the stevia leaves in the water for sweetness...I am going to do that! Also instead of salt I would use Braggs Amino Acids. Try it! - 7/30/10

  2 things: When making soups with meat, I brown the meat in the soup pot first, then continue making the soup. Adds extra flavour. Also, whenever I cook with cabbage, I par-boil the cabbage to eliminate the gassy aftereffects. I love sweet 'n sour anything, so I can't wait to try this! - 7/30/10

  However, broiling the chicken first may give it a bit of extra flavor that boiled chicken doesn't have? I think I'll try it that way. The recipe sounds great, and I have all the ingredients. A little bit of carrot or chinese stir fry vegies may be good added too. - 8/20/08

  Legs and thighs would be cheaper. Also boil them first into a stock (with herbs, etc) and you have much better flavour. - 6/2/10

  I haven't tasted this soup but it's similar to one made without chicken. That one has broth, cabbage, tomatoes (canned) and lemon as well as the sugar. I've used vinegar instead of the lemon but it's not quite as good. I also use sweetner instead of sugar. I use sodium free broth. - 6/1/10

  I think adding carrots, onion, garlic, and celery would make this even better especially on a cold evening and would stretch the recipe and lesson the calories. I too will use splenda brown or splenda and a drizzle of molasses for a rich flavor - 4/28/10

  Instead of cooking the cabbage and adding vinegar, how-a-bout using a can of sourkraut?

  Par boil, not par broil. Par boil is basically, you heat a pot of water to boiling, drop in chicken for a few minutes (not cooking till done) and remove. I find that method uses a lot of time, electricity and heats up my house. I prefer to par boil things in a steam bag in the microwave. - 8/20/08
