Chicken Soup with Red Cabbage

The soup prepared according to this recipe has an original purple color, which is unusual for any other first courses. Such a non-standard shade is obtained thanks to red cabbage, which makes the soup not only original, but also tasty and healthy.

Directions

1. We prepare the necessary products.

   

2. Pour the chicken in a saucepan with 2 liters of water and put on fire. After boiling, remove the foam, reduce the heat to a minimum, add the bay leaf and cook the broth for 40-60 minutes. I used homemade chicken for the broth, so I cooked it longer – 1.5 hours.
