This is a soup that I grew up with - its orignial version is a Borscht as made by the germans' , later on I made a healthy version using chicken instead of beef - and changing the cabbage to a nappa cabbage giving off less gas

Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups sliced carrots
  • 1 cup sliced celery
  • 1 cup diced onions
  • 2 cloves of garlic smashed
  • 8 cups of cubed potatoes
  • 8 cups shredded nappa cabbage
  • 3/4 cup fresh chopped tomato added only at the end
  • 14 cups chicken stock
  • 4 cups shredded chicken
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tsp allspice
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1/4 cup flat leaf parsley chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp vinegar

Directions
  1. If you have any left over chicken that you have baked - use the leftover meat and the bones to make your stock. If not use a good low sodium, low fat stock, my favorites are college inn and swanson.
  2. In a large pot add your stock and vegetables (not including your tomatoes) allow to come to fork done. Approximately 40 minutes.Add chicken meat, salt, pepper to taste, allspice, thyme and parsley. Cook for 20 minutes. Add tomatoes and allow to simmer for 30 minutes. Add sugar and vinegar and serve.

Love soup, looks really good!


Looks very similar to the good old fashioned Mennonite Borscht my mom makes,and she's always used chicken. I think she uses dill instead of thyme though. Good suggestion to use the nappa cabbage, I'll have to give it a try.

Also spelled Borscht, Borsht, or Bortsch, beet soup of the Slavic countries, not German. Although borsch is important in Russian and Polish cuisines, the Ukraine is frequently cited as its place of origin.


Sounds really good. I love the combination of the cabbage and shredded chicken.
