What you’ll need

300 g boneless skinless chicken, cut into 2 cm pieces
200 g potato, peeled and cut into small cubes
1 carrot (80 g), peeled and thinly sliced
80 g cabbage, finely sliced
1 litre water
1 teaspoon neutral oil

One step at a time

Let’s make it

Warm the oil in a large saucepan. Add the chicken and stir for 3 minutes.
Add the water, potato, carrot and optional garlic. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 15 minutes.
Add the cabbage and simmer for 5–7 minutes, or until all vegetables are tender and the chicken reaches 75°C. Remove the garlic clove.
Shred the chicken or cut it smaller as appropriate. Ladle broth and solid ingredients separately if preferred, and cool the serving slightly.

Preparation and cooking times are estimates. Use the doneness checks in the method.

Make the texture work

A bowl of broth with the soft pieces on a side plate can feel more predictable than a mixed soup. Cabbage has an aroma; omit it if this is a barrier.

Season it properly

Taste before adding salt. Keep pepper, chilli and strong sauces as optional adult table add-ons.

Simple swaps

Use soft pumpkin instead of potato. Adults can add pepper to their own bowls; keep the child's portion as familiar as possible.

Keep it safely

Refrigerate within 2 hours and eat within 48 hours, or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat once until steaming hot throughout.
