What Are the Health Benefits of This Dish?
This dish is very nutritional and provides a wide range of vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients. This chicken cabbage soup is also low in calories.
Chicken is a good lean protein, which is essential for muscle health.
This soup is loaded with cabbage which has fiber and helps digestion.
And there are other vitamins and minerals in this dish, such as vitamins A, C, K, and others.
And garlic is a key ingredient to boost the immune system.
Also, this soup features millet. Millet is a highly nutritious grain that has been a staple in the diets of many cultures for thousands of years. It is gluten-free, high in fiber, and rich in nutrients.
Where Can I Buy the Required Ingredients?
I recommend buying all your ingredients at your local farmer’s market or a specialty grocery store.
It is best to buy free-range chicken. It is also a healthier option for sure. You can choose boneless, skinless chicken thighs from the meat section. Personally, I love to have things with skin and bones, it gives more flavor and richness to the soup.
Can I Substitute Any of the Ingredients?
Sure! You can make substitutions based on your preferences or dietary restrictions.
Instead of chicken, you can use turkey, or mushrooms for a vegetarian version.
If I make a vegetarian soup, I like to use fresh and dryporcini mushrooms and chanterelle mushrooms. The lasts taste so good when you fry them.
You can also use different vegetables such as bell peppers and sweet potatoes.
Can I Make This Dish Part of a Menu?
Of course, Chicken Cabbage Soup can be the main course of a well-rounded menu. If you’re planning a dinner, consider pairing it with:
Bread: a fresh piece of bread is a great accompaniment to this soup

sometimes I use Pablano peppers for a little bit of spice and sometimes I use V8 juice instead of tomato sauce
Mark, those are great additions. Thanks for sharing!
