Print Recipe

A warm, creamy, and low-carb chicken soup that is quick to make and perfect for cozy nights. This keto-friendly recipe uses cauliflower instead of noodles for a comforting, rich texture without the carbs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast or thighs
  • 2 cups cauliflower florets, chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream (at least 36% fat)
  • 4 cups chicken broth (homemade or low-sodium store-bought)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 stalk celery, diced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped (or ½ teaspoon dried)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar or Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Chop the onion, celery, and garlic finely. Cut cauliflower into small florets for even cooking (about 10 minutes).
  2. In a large soup pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add onion and celery and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and thyme, stirring for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Add cauliflower florets and pour in 4 cups of chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 12–15 minutes until cauliflower is tender.
  4. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth and creamy. If using a regular blender, carefully transfer in batches.
  5. Stir in shredded chicken and 1 cup heavy cream. Heat gently for 5 minutes without boiling to avoid curdling.
  6. Season with salt and pepper gradually, tasting as you go. If desired, stir in shredded cheese and let it melt smoothly.
  7. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top just before serving.

Notes

Keep heat low when adding cream to avoid curdling. Blend cauliflower thoroughly for a creamy texture. Use shredded chicken finely to prevent clumps. Season gradually as broth and cheese add saltiness. If soup is too thick, add more broth or cream. Leftovers store well in fridge for 3 days and freeze nicely.
