Cabbage Soup
Plus I have quite a few cans of beans as well as dried ones in my pantry and if I add those, it will make it a meal.
What's in this soup? I love soup... I am still having trouble with night time eating...altho i found eating a frozen protein shake helps....There are other issues that make me want to eat...a cup of soup may be better ... thanks

It makes a lot so you'll have leftovers. I don't really measure when I cook so the amount of dry spices are up to you I call this.....
French Country Chicken Thighs
6 boneless/skinless chicken thighs keep frozen
2 small containers of mushrooms sliced
1 small can diced tomatoes
1 medium onion sliced or chopped
2 tablespoons capers
chicken broth, about 2-3 cups
3/4 cup of red or white wine ( or more broth)
3 cups of kale torn up
large can of great northern beans
spices:
oregano
garlic powder or fresh garlic
cumin
basil
3 bay leaves
salt pepper
in a sprayed Dutch oven saute the onion and mushrooms until tender. Add the broth, tomatoes ,wine and capers. Lay the FROZEN chicken thighs into the dutch oven. bring to a boil then turn down and simmer for about an hour . Add kale and beans and simmer until kale is soft , just a few minutes. The chicken thights will stay in little bundles.
I bet you could make this in a crock pot too but don't put the beans and kale in until then end or you'll habe mush.
