Kindness Soup–a delightful dump and go chicken soup with potatoes, cabbage, carrots and seasonings. Make it in the Instant Pot or Crockpot.
Kindness Soup
Chicken soup is good for the soul…we all know that. It warms you up and cheers you up. It’s the perfect thing to share with a friend or neighbor. This version of chicken soup swaps out the noodles and replaces them with potatoes and some cabbage instead (this makes the soup gluten-free). The flavor and seasonings are spot on. We sipped and slurped this soup and sadly there are no leftovers. Enjoy!
Ingredients/Substitution Ideas
- Chicken broth–or water and Better than Bouillon chicken base
- Boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts–frozen or fresh

Steps

Add in the onion, cabbage, carrots, potatoes, garlic powder, parsley, thyme, rosemary, sage, salt, bay leaf and butter.
Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the SOUP button to 4 minutes. When time is up let pot sit for 5-10 minutes and then move the valve to venting. Remove the lid. Discard the bay leaf.

Notes
For the instant pot version it is very important that the very first thing you do is add the broth and chicken into the pot and turn on the saute setting. This will make sure that the chicken gets all the way cooked through. While you’re peeling and chopping the other ingredients the chicken and the broth will start heating up and cooking.
