Paleo Chicken Vegetable Soup

This is the soup I made on 6/27/14.

Defrost for 10 minutes 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts in the microwave.

In a large cast iron pot on medium heat, add 2 tbsp of canola oil (you could use olive oil if you want). Heat through. Add 1 coarsely chopped yellow onion, 1 clove of garlic, crushed with the blade of a knife and then coarsely chopped, 1 chopped stalk to celery and 1 tsp of Kosher salt to the pot. Stir to combine and redistribute in order to sweat, not brown. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the onions are soft.

Add 3 teaspoons of Mazola chicken flavored bouillon and enough warm water to fill the pot 2/3rds full. Remove defrosted chicken from the microwave, cut into one inch pieces and add to the pot.

Add one head of green cabbage chopped in half through the root and then quartered and thirded. To the top, add 2 cups of fresh Green Giant vegetable medley (cauliflower, broccoli and baby carrots).

Cover with lid and cook for 15 minutes on medium, then 15 mins on simmer.

Why did I called this soup Paleo? It a meat and vegetable based soup that doesn't have any potatoes, rice or noodles in it.
