Advice
You can use any meat instead of chicken, such as pork or beef. However, keep in mind that the cooking time will be longer.
Preparation
Step 1
Prepare all the necessary ingredients. You can use any part of the chicken for the soup. I will be using chicken breast. The proportions and vegetables can be adjusted to your taste. Green peas can be fresh or frozen.
Step 2
Pour water over the chicken, place it on the stove, and bring to a boil. Simmer for 20–25 minutes. Then cut the meat into pieces and return it to the broth. If using other chicken parts, separate the cooked meat from the bones and strain the broth.
Step 3
Peel and dice the potatoes into small pieces. Add the potatoes to the pot with the chicken and cook everything together for 10–15 minutes.
Step 4
Peel and chop the onion and carrot. Finely chop the onion and grate the carrot. Heat some vegetable oil in a pan and sauté the vegetables for a couple of minutes.
Step 5
Cut the bell pepper into small cubes. I use peppers of different colors, but you can choose one type.
Step 6
Add the chopped bell pepper to the pan and sauté everything together on low heat for another 2–3 minutes.
Step 7
Mix the vegetables with tomato paste, heat everything through, and then transfer the sautéed mixture to the soup pot.
Step 8
Finely shred the Napa cabbage.
Step 9
Add the green peas and shredded Napa cabbage to the soup. Season with salt and spices to taste. You can also add a bay leaf for extra aroma. Simmer everything together for 5 minutes.
Step 10
Remove the finished soup from the heat, pour it into bowls, and serve hot. Enjoy your meal!
