This kimchi soup is an easy and delicious paleo friendly meal. Chances are you already have all the ingredients in your fridge. I used some leftover chicken bone broth, a jar of kimchi, some chopped scallions (aka green onions) and a little bit of honey. I know some of you guys might not want to add the honey, but I highly recommend it. It gives the broth a nice sweet and sour flavor, otherwise you’ll just be drinking a sour broth. Not so yummy. Plus with all the cabbage from the kimichi, there is plenty of fiber so you don’t need to worry about 2 tbsp in the whole recipe, which serves 2-4. Two if you go back for seconds 🙂

Hi Lauren, thanks for sharing this post. This looks like a recipe I must try with my husband. He loves kimchi and honey!
