Chicken, Onion and Cabbage Soup

Chicken, Onion and Cabbage Soup

4 cooked chicken thighs, skinned and deboned, and chopped up.

4-5 slices of ham (optional)

1 onion – chopped

½ a head of red cabbage

6-8 asparagus spears – cut up to bite size pieces

4 cloves of garlic sliced

2 – 3 cups of chicken stock

3-4 sprigs of rosemary

Various seasonings – depends on your tastes.  Below is what I added….

In your soup pot, add some olive oil and/or bacon grease….just to coat the bottom.  Once heated (medium heat), add, onion, ham, cabbage, garlic and asparagus.  Strip rosemary sprigs and chop if desired and throw into the pot.  Add cooked chicken and some salt, black pepper, marjoram leaves and 2 bay leaves.  Mix all together and cook for about 10 minutes.  Add chicken stock.  Cover and cook for about 30 minutes at a simmering heat.  Remove bay leaves and enjoy!
