Traditional Russian cabbage soup is prepared and cooked in a strong beef broth. Of course, it turns out very satisfying, nutritious and tasty, just what you need in the frosty winter. But even in cold weather, you don’t always want food that’s so filling and heavy on your stomach. For such cases, as well as for those who for some reason do not use meat broths for first courses, we offer a recipe for cabbage soup with chicken. It will turn out very, very light, we will cook it from the most dietary meat - chicken breast. Boiled chicken can be used to make salads, and we can use the broth to prepare delicious, aromatic cabbage soup.
In order not to interrupt the taste of the chicken broth, there is no need to fry the vegetables. It is enough to sauté the onions and carrots until soft, add peppers and tomatoes to them and immediately turn off. With this preparation, frying vegetables will not have the characteristic taste of fried vegetables, but they will have time to soak in the oil. So, let’s prepare cabbage soup from fresh cabbage with chicken, a step-by-step recipe with photos is waiting for you.
Ingredients:
- chicken broth – 2 liters;
- potatoes – 3 tubers;
- fresh white cabbage – a piece of approximately 200 grams;
- carrots – 1 piece;
- onions – 1 small onion;
- tomatoes – 2 pcs (or canned, frozen in pieces);
- red bell pepper – 0.5 pcs;
- any greens for serving;
- salt - to taste;
- bay leaf – 1 leaf;
- peppercorns – 8-10 pcs;
- vegetable oil – 1.5 tbsp. spoons.
Recipe with photos step by step:
Cook light chicken broth from breast or fillet. Place the chicken meat in cold water, add salt after boiling, turn the heat down to low, be sure to skim the foam from the surface two or three times. In 35-40 minutes the chicken will be ready. We take it out of the broth and cover it so it doesn’t dry out. We use the broth to prepare cabbage soup.
About 10 minutes before the broth is ready, start chopping the vegetables. Cut the carrots into cubes or thin sticks (straws). Finely chop the onion, also into cubes or thin half rings. 
Cut potatoes for cabbage soup into pieces of arbitrary shape and size: strips, cubes, slices. 
After removing a piece of chicken from the broth, add potatoes to it. Cook over very low heat for 10 minutes, until almost done.
While the potatoes are cooking, chop a piece of white cabbage into strips. We make the strips not very thin so that when cooking the cabbage does not become soft and tasteless. 
Place the cabbage in the pan with the potatoes. We wait until the broth begins to boil, cover with a lid. Cook over low heat for 5-7 minutes, until the cabbage is completely cooked. 
At the same time we fry the vegetables. Pour the onion into the heated oil, after two minutes, when the onion begins to become transparent, add the carrot cubes. Stirring, saute the vegetables for a minute, without frying them until golden brown.
Add sweet peppers, cut into pieces (you can use frozen ones in winter) and tomatoes; they need to be cut larger than peppers and carrots. As for tomatoes, in winter it is better to replace fresh ones with canned ones in their own juice or add pieces of frozen tomatoes. Heat until tomatoes and peppers soften. 
Remove the pan from the heat. Immediately add the contents to the pan with future cabbage soup. Stir and taste for salt. We adjust the taste. If the tomatoes make the cabbage soup sour, add one or two pinches of sugar. 
Cook the cabbage soup at a low simmer for about 10 minutes until all the vegetables are fully cooked. You can reduce the cooking time; the cabbage will become soft while the cabbage soup is infused. At the end of cooking the cabbage soup, before turning off the heat, add a bay leaf (not very large) and peppercorns. That's all, the cabbage soup is ready. But in order for them to turn out tasty, the cabbage soup needs to brew. 
Leave the finished cabbage soup on a warm stove, covered with a lid. After 15-20 minutes, pour into plates, add chicken and serve with herbs. If you like cabbage soup with sour cream, add a spoonful of thick sour cream to the plates. Bon appetit!

You can eat aromatic, delicious cabbage soup made from fresh cabbage with chicken every day. This dish will not get boring if you know the little secrets of its preparation.
Slavic peoples began cooking cabbage soup in the 9th century, when cabbage began to be grown everywhere. There are various recipes for preparing this filling soup, which was on the table of rich and poor Slavs. It was cooked in clay or cast iron pots in the oven. The recipes were very different, but the main vegetable was always present - cabbage and a sour dressing made from cabbage brine or sour cream.
An important difference between cabbage soup and other soups was always that vegetables and roots were added to them without prior frying. Only the sauerkraut was stewed for a long time before being added to the broth, to give it softness. During Lent, lean cabbage soup was cooked in mushroom or vegetable broth. At the end of cooking, flour dressing was traditionally added, which is no longer customary to add.
There are other differences in modern cabbage soup recipes. Tomato sauce is often used to add a sour taste. It is added to sauteed onions and carrots. In addition to cabbage, potatoes are often added. Various spices make cabbage soup more flavorful. This can be bay leaf, black peppercorns, allspice, clove seeds, basil, hot pepper, dried or fresh dill, parsley, etc. What is important in cooking is not only the set of products, but also the method of cooking. The fire should be low, without intense boiling of the contents of the pan.

Wash and peel the potatoes, cut them into slices, cubes or cubes. Transfer the potatoes to a saucepan. Reduce the heat, making sure that the boiling is not too intense.
Grate the carrots on a coarse grater, cut the onion into small pieces.
