Ingredients

  • 2 chicken leg quarters, skin removed

  • 5 cups water, or as needed to cover

  • ½ small head green cabbage, chopped

  • 2 carrots, peeled and sliced

  • 2 stalks celery, sliced

  • 1 onion, sliced

  • 2 bay leaves

Directions

  1. Place chicken legs in a large pot and cover with water. Add cabbage, carrots, celery, onion, bay leaves, parsley, garlic, thyme, marjoram, salt, and black pepper.
