Preparing Creamy Keto Chicken Pot Pie Soup
Making this comforting soup is straightforward, making it accessible for cooks of all levels. Here’s what to expect:
- You’ll start by sautéing the diced onion, garlic, celery, and carrots (or a lower-carb veggie like zucchini) in butter, allowing the flavors to develop beautifully.
- Next, introduce the cauliflower, chicken broth, and shredded chicken, adding in herbs for a fragrant touch.
- After simmering the mixture to let it meld together, you’ll finish it off with a splash of heavy cream for that velvety finish.
Each step builds on the last, resulting in a wholesome and satisfying dish.
What you’ll need
Gather these items for your Creamy Keto Chicken Pot Pie Soup:
- 2 Tbsp butter
- ½ cup onion (diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup celery (sliced)
- 1 cup carrots (diced, or substitute with lower-carb veggies like zucchini)
- 2 cups cauliflower florets (chopped small)
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1½ cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- ½ tsp dried rosemary
- ½ cup heavy cream
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Optional: fresh parsley for garnish
Note: If you’re looking to make it even more keto-friendly, consider substituting some ingredients with lower-carb options like zucchini for added flavor without the carbs.
Step-by-step instructions
Here’s how to prepare that delicious soup:
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, sliced celery, and diced carrots (or your chosen substitute) to the pot. Sauté for about 5–6 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
- Stir in the cauliflower florets, chicken broth, cooked shredded chicken, dried thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
- After simmering, gently stir in the heavy cream and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until everything is heated through and steaming hot (165°F/74°C).
- Adjust the seasoning as necessary and garnish with fresh parsley before serving hot.
