Place chicken into the Instant Pot.

Fill the Instant Pot about halfway with water.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder to the water.

Seal the Instant Pot lid and set to poultry for 1.5 hours, ensuring the venting is off.

After 1.5 hours, strain the chicken using cheesecloth and a strainer to separate the broth from the chicken.

Return the broth to the pot and add chopped vegetables: 5 carrots, 1 whole onion, and 2 bell peppers.

Peel and chop 3 tomatoes, adding them to the broth after boiling them for 10 seconds to remove the skin.

Add 1 can of tomato sauce to the broth and stir.

Cook the vegetables in the crock pot for 5 minutes to soften them.

Cut cabbage into four pieces, remove the core, and wash it thoroughly.

Place the cabbage into hot water to wilt for about 5-10 minutes.

Chop the cooked chicken into hearty chunks.

Combine the chicken and wilted cabbage into the broth, submerging them under the liquid.

Cover the pot and let it sit for about 10 minutes to meld flavors.
