Why it’s delicious

When I need something satisfying and nutritious, I turn to this soup. Made with a simple kombu broth, I add cabbage and vegetables and finish it with shredded roast chicken for a wonderfully comforting bowl of goodness.

Helpful hints and tips

You can use any vegetables you want in your soup! If you don't have cucumber or snow peas, replace them with broccoli or cauliflower florets. It's up to you how you design your soup! 

Before you start, you’ll need to prepare my Kombu Water. Kombu water is my healthy broth alternative and one of my favourite foundation recipes. If you need the recipe, you can find it here.

Ingredients

• 1 litre (2.1 pints) Kombu Water
• 2 tbsp tamari, sodium reduced

Method

1. Add the kombu water to a large pot along with the tamari, ginger and garlic and begin to heat on medium temperature. 
2. Add the chicken and bring to a simmer and then add the cabbage, mushrooms, wakame and zucchini. Gently simmer for a minute or two and then taste for flavour adding a bit of salt and pepper to season the soup.
