This is the type of soup we make when we have a cold! It’s full of goodness and is light on the digestive system. Trim damaged leaves and the root of the leek. Cut leek into 1 1/2 cm slices and place in a bowl of cold water to wash out the grit. Remove from water. Peel carrot and cut into bite-size chunks. Cut celery into bite-size pieces. Peel swede and cut into 1 1/2 cm cubes. Cut zucchinis into bite-size pieces. Place oil in a large saucepan (about 5 litre). Add leek, carrot and celery pieces and cook on medium heat for about 4 minutes without browning. Add chicken drumsticks, shredded cabbage and the swede and zucchini pieces. Cover with cold water. Add ginger slices and season with a little salt and pepper. Bring to the boil and simmer for about 25 minutes. Add plenty of chopped parsley just before serving.
