    Low Carb Chicken Soup

    We really love to have soups for lunch in winter. They are so easy to make and are perfect for batch cooking and meal prep. We love when we make a meal and there is 6 or 8 serves to pop into the freezer and then you have a bunch of meals ready to go.

    Chicken soup is one of those meals that is a must-have recipe in your repertoire. Keto or not, everyone has a favourite chicken soup recipe and this one will quickly become your favourite keto soup recipe.

    Keto Soup Recipes

    As the weather starts to cool down here in Australia we are starting to replace our summery salads with more wintery warming soups. Soups are such a great option on keto, as it is easy to replace the carb from your favourite soups to make them keto-friendly. You can replace the potato with cauliflower in a soup like a potato and leek soup or you can replace noodles with zoodles or konjac noodles in any Asian noodle soups or chicken noodle soup.

    Shredded Chicken

    This recipe uses shredded chicken. If you need a quick option, you can buy a BBQ chicken from the supermarket and remove the meat from the bones and shred it. Any chicken that you don’t use in the recipe can be put in the freezer for later use.

    Another really good option is to roast 2-3 chickens at a time in your oven and remove all the meat and store in portions in the freezer. We do this every few months and it means we have shredded chicken ready to go any time. We love to use it in salads, we mix some with mayo for a quick lunch or cook some with some Mexican spices and put it in a cheese shell taco.

    HOT TIP – Save your chicken bones and make some bone broth. Homemade chicken broth is delicious and easy to make. You won’t regret making your own.

    Bone Broth

    We have started incorporating bone broth into our diet more. We like to have a small cup before dinner each night. We love to have it for the minerals and collagen and all-round health benefits. We really love to make our own. It is so easy and delicious.

    Bone broth is one of the best natural sources of collagen. It is really easy to make your own and you can use any animal bones. We like to use chicken carcasses to make ours and also often throw in some extra chicken wings and chicken necks for more cartilage.

    There are also some great options to buy bone broth if you are after convenience.

    Tips

    • If you are tracking your carbs and are concerned about the amount of carbohydrates in this recipe, you can reduce the onion and carrot. We really like the vegetables in this recipe as it really gives it a chicken vegetable soup feel.
    • The quickest way to get some shredded chicken is to buy a BBQ chicken and pull the meat off the bones.
    • If you don’t have any bone broth, store-bought chicken stock works just as well in this recipe.

    Suggestions

    • Portion out the soup and freeze if you like to meal prep. This is an excellent meal prep option.

      Delicious! I used half a cup of whole milk, half cup of cream cheese to replace the heavy cream because I didn’t have any. Thank you for this keto friendly comfort food recipe!
