Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat.

2. Add onion, celery, carrots, bell pepper, garlic, and ginger all at once. Sauté, stirring frequently, until vegetables are softened and fragrant.

3. Add diced chicken and cook 2–3 minutes, just until the exterior turns opaque.

4. Pour in 4 cups broth, then add cabbage and diced apple. Stir to combine.

5. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook 20–25 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.

6. Taste and adjust consistency: add ½–2 cups more broth if you prefer a more traditional soup texture.
