Steps:

In a 6 qt dutch oven, lightly saute garlic and onions in a little olive oil
add chicken and cabbage and stir lightly.
add bouillon, I prefer the Better than Bouillon brand, and add enough water to cover the mix, I like chunky thick soup, you can add more water to your taste.

let the soup rest about 5 minutes.
