Cabbage Patch Stew

In a large pot warm up the olive oil then add the chicken tenders. After allowing them to cook slightly on medium/high heat (about 2 minutes on each side) add the celery and onion. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover and cook until vegetables are tender. Remove chicken from the pot, cut it into 1 inch pieces, add them back into the pot and then stir in Rotel tomatoes, canned tomatoes, chicken broth, ketchup, and oregano. Bring soup to a boil, cover then lower heat to a simmer.

Meanwhile, steam cabbage. To steam the cabbage use either a vegetable steamer or saucepan with good fitting lid. If using a vegetable steamer, follow manufacturer’s instructions and steam for 5 minutes. If using a saucepan, place 1 inch of water in the bottom of the pan then bring to a boil on high heat. Place cabbage in saucepan, cover, and steam for 5 minutes.

When the cabbage is tender add it to the soup along with the drained cans of kidney beans. Simmer for another few minutes then serve.
