This hearty soup warms your soul and will provide you with so much comfort. It features sweet carrots, onion, garlic, cabbage, and millet. Have you ever tried chicken cabbage soup with millet? – If not, you definitely need to try it.
The best season to make this chicken cabbage soup is… now 🙂 If you are craving a bowl of rich soup, you are at the right place.

Here is a quick idea of Chicken Dumplings Soup, in case you like dumplings:
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.
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.
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 dry porcini 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.
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:
Choosing the right beverages to complement your meal is essential. Here are some drink options that pair wonderfully with Chicken Cabbage 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!
