-1 Large Red Onion

-5 Large Carrots

-5 Large Celery Stalks

-1 Large Bunch Cilantro

-1" Cube Ginger

-1 Lime

-About 4 32oz Cartons Chicken Broth (low sodium) or Water with 2 Bouillon Cubes

-2tbsp Tomato Paste

-2 Bay Leaves

-Paprika

-Turmeric

-Herbs de Provence

-Salt & Pepper

Recipe

1) Chop vegetables to desired soup shape. Mince ginger.

2) Add carrots, onions, ginger celery and chicken to a large pot and cook on medium until onions are caramelized. Season heavily with paprika, turmeric, salt & pepper.

3) Add tomato paste and cabbage to mixture & stir.

4) After about 5 minutes, or when cabbage begins to shrink, add chicken broth (or water with bouillon cubes) to the pot.

5) Season with generous helpings of herbs de provence, salt & pepper and bay leaves.

6) Simmer for at least 30min and taste, adding more herbs de provence and salt & pepper if needed.

7) Remove chicken thighs from pot and remove bones, either chopping or shredding the meat. Add meat back to soup.

8) Boil orzo or favorite short pasta separately or directly in the soup. (Know that if it is boiled in the soup, the pasta will absorb a lot of liquid. If you're saving or freezing it, I recommend cooking & storing the pasta separate.)

9) Squeeze the juice of 1 lime into the soup. Add a large bunch of chopped cilantro & stir.

10) Taste & season more if needed.
