Ingredients
Soup Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 small green cabbage, shredded
- 1 medium carrot, shredded
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
- 6 cups chicken broth (low sodium or no sodium added)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the chicken: Add the ground chicken to a large Dutch oven or soup pot and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink, breaking it up as it cooks.
- Add the veggies: Add the olive oil to the pot and heat it briefly. Then add the shredded cabbage, chopped onion, shredded carrot, minced garlic, and fresh ginger. Stir well and cook for about 10 minutes until the cabbage softens and the vegetables are tender.
- Add broth and simmer: Pour in the chicken broth, season the soup with salt and the toasted sesame oil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the cabbage to become completely soft.
- Garnish and serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve the soup with optional Sriracha sauce, soy sauce, and extra sesame oil if desired for added flavor and heat.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, substitute ground chicken with firm tofu and use vegetable broth.
- The soup can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Add cooked rice or noodles if you prefer a more filling soup.
- Adjust the salt based on the sodium content of your chicken broth.
- Fresh ginger can be replaced with ½ teaspoon ground ginger if necessary.
