Cook over medium heat until vegetables have softened, about 30 minutes.

CHICKEN SOUP WITH CHARRED CABBAGE
Simmering a rotisserie bird in water with a handful of aromatics beats boxed chicken stock any day. Plus, the mushroom stems are basically free flavor; add a handful to any pot of simmering stock for an umami boost.

Steps:
- Bring chicken carcass, shiitake stems, garlic, 1 tsp. salt, and 8 cups water to a boil in a large pot, skimming foam from surface as needed. Cover pot and reduce heat to medium. Simmer 15 minutes. Strain broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl. Rinse out pot, then pour broth back in.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook mushroom caps, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and softened, 7-9 minutes. Transfer mushrooms to a plate; season with salt.
- Add cabbage to same skillet, press into an even layer, and cook, undisturbed, 2 minutes; season with salt. Turn cabbage with tongs, then continue to cook, undisturbed, until lightly charred and tender in some spots and still crisp in others, about 2 minutes.
- Add mushrooms, cabbage, and shredded chicken to broth and cook over medium heat just until chicken is warmed through, about 3 minutes. Season soup with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls and drizzle with chili oil if desired.

Tips:
- Roast the cabbage first: Roasting the cabbage before adding it to the soup gives it a wonderfully smoky and charred flavor that adds depth to the broth. Make sure to roast the cabbage until it is slightly blackened and caramelized.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for carrots, celery, and onion, but feel free to add other vegetables that you like, such as potatoes, parsnips, or turnips. You can also add a cup of frozen peas or corn towards the end of cooking.
- Don't skip the bay leaves: Bay leaves add a subtle but essential flavor to the soup. Be sure to remove them before serving.
- Season to taste: This recipe is a good starting point, but you may need to adjust the seasonings to your liking. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs as desired.
- Let the soup rest: After cooking, let the soup rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and deepen.
Conclusion:
This chicken soup with charred cabbage is a delicious and comforting meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. The roasted cabbage adds a unique smoky flavor to the soup, and the variety of vegetables makes it a hearty and nutritious dish. Serve this soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal.
