Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 yellow onion, cut into ½ moons
4 cloves of garlic, chopped
½ jalapeno, minced
5 carrots cut into slices
6 cups of chopped up cabbage
1 large zucchini, cut into chunks
A few handfuls of baby spinach
½ cup of frozen peas
6 cups of chicken broth
1 15 oz can of diced tomatoes
1/3 cup chopped cilantro
Juice of one lime
2 tsp of olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: Pre-cooked shredded chicken & avocado

Steps:

  • In a large pot heat olive oil over medium high heat and add onions along with a pinch of salt. Allow the onions to cook for about 4-5 minutes or until translucent. Stir in jalapeno, carrots, and garlic and cook another few minutes. You just want to give the veggies a head start before stirring in the cabbage. Combine all the veggies together before adding the broth and the tomatoes; turn the heat to high and bring to a boil. Once your soup is at a boil bring it down to a simmer and stir in zucchini and peas. Cook for just a couple more minutes before stirring in the spinach, cilantro and fresh lime juice. Adjust seasonings and serve yourself some soup!! Serving suggestion: I like to put a couple of ounces of pre-cooked shredded chicken at the bottom of my bowl before topping with the soup. Then I finish it off with some fresh avocado and an extra squish of limejuice SO GOOD! Makes a HUGE pot.

This soup was really easy to make and it turned out great! I used chicken broth instead of beef broth and it was still delicious.

This soup was a little bland for my taste, but it was still a good meal. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

I'm not a huge fan of cabbage, but this soup was surprisingly delicious. The broth was flavorful and the cabbage was tender. I'll definitely be making this again.
