Keto Chicken Soup
Description
Keto Chicken Soup is made by browning bone-in chicken thighs to develop flavor before simmering with aromatics like celery, onion, garlic, thyme, and bay leaves in chicken stock combined with water. The gentle simmer ensures the chicken cooks fully and becomes tender while infusing the broth. After shredding the cooked chicken, it's returned to the pot to warm through.
The resulting soup offers a clean, rich broth with herbal and aromatic notes. The mix of stock and water balances concentration of flavor and volume. The presence of chicken thighs contributes both savory depth and moist, tender shredded meat.
This soup is served immediately for best texture and flavor. Leftover soup can be refrigerated, making it a practical option for batch preparations or warming up on cold days.
