Keto Chicken Soup
Description
This recipe starts by sautéing garlic in butter, then stirring in shredded chicken coated with butter and cream cheese until melting and creamy. Chicken broth and heavy cream along with optional parsley and onion powder are added and brought to a simmer. Cooked cauliflower rice is stirred in last, providing texture and body similar to rice without carbohydrates. The soup is seasoned with salt to taste.
The combination of cream cheese and heavy cream yields a rich, velvety broth that carries the savory garlic and chicken flavors well. The cauliflower rice absorbs the flavors while maintaining a low-carb profile. This soup serves well as a filling meal or a warm starter for keto or low-carb diets.
Nutritional details indicate moderate fat and protein with low carbohydrates, typical of ketogenic-friendly recipes. The simplicity of ingredients and method support an easy-to-make comforting soup. Heating cold cauliflower rice thoroughly before serving ensures even warmth.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter 1 ounce
- 2 cloves garlic pressed or minced
- 2 cups chicken 2 small/1 large chicken breast, shredded
- 4 ounces cream cheese cubed
- 2 cups chicken broth 14.5 oz can
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 teaspoon dried parsley flakes optional
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder optional
- 1 1/2 cup cauliflower rice cooked
- salt to taste
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until lightly golden, about 30 seconds. Add chicken and stir until coated in butter.
- Add cubed cream cheese and stir until cream cheese melts and coats the chicken.
- Add broth, heavy cream, parsley, and onion powder. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and turn stove down so soup is just at a simmer. Simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until slightly reduced. Stir in cooked cauliflower rice and salt to taste. If your cauliflower was cold, heat soup over medium until hot.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Use fresh or properly cooked cauliflower rice for best texture and to avoid sogginess in the soup.
- Heat the soup gently after adding cauliflower rice if it has cooled, ensuring it is served warm.
- Optional dried parsley flakes and onion powder can be added for additional flavor enhancement.
- This recipe yields approximately three servings with balanced keto-friendly macros.
