Introduction

My mom used to make this cabbage soup when I was little when she was dieting. I added my own flair (and chicken!) to it and love it on a cold day!

I am not a chef by any means, but this recipe is easier and goes by faster every time I make it. I added the chicken and chicken broth from my mom's original recipe to make it more hearty.

Ingredients

    3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
    1 head of cabbage
    1 onion
    1 bag of baby carrots (or you can cut up your own)
    6-8 stalks of celery
    6 Roma tomatoes or 2 red ripe tomatoes
    2 cups of chicken broth (taken from the chicken breasts)
    V8 Vegetable Juice, low sodium

Directions

For the chicken:
Boil the chicken breasts until they are cooked thoroughly.
Put chicken on a plate to cool off. Once cool, shred into bite sized pieces.

The rest:
Put the carrots in a large pot, cover with the V8, turn the stove on medium.
Cut the celery into bite sized pieces and add to the pot.
Cut up the onion and add to pot.
Cut up the cabbage into 2 inch chunks and add to the pot (chunks will break up when it starts to cook).
Cut up the tomatoes into bite sized pieces and add to the pot.
Add two cups of the chicken broth taken from the boiled chicken when it has cooled off enough to do so (can be done at any time).
Add the chicken to the pot (can be done at any time).
Turn the heat down a little.

Cook until the veggies are all tender, but not mushy.
