Finely chop the onion and garlic.
Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat and sauté the onions and garlic until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the diced chicken breast to the pot and cook until the chicken is no longer pink, approximately 5 minutes.
Pour in the chicken stock and add the bay leaves. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Add the chopped cabbage, carrots, and potatoes to the pot. Season with salt and black pepper.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the soup simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Meanwhile, finely chop the celery leaves and slice the spring onions.
Once the vegetables are cooked to your liking, adjust the seasoning as needed.
Remove the bay leaves from the pot and discard.
