Print Recipe

A warm, comforting, and creamy keto-friendly chicken soup that uses cauliflower instead of noodles for a low-carb, nourishing meal perfect for busy nights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 1 medium head cauliflower, chopped into small florets
  • 4 cups chicken broth (low-sodium recommended)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Chop the cauliflower into small florets, dice the celery and onion, and mince the garlic. Shred the cooked chicken if not already done. Prep should take about 10 minutes.
  2. Heat the butter in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and garlic, cooking for 4–5 minutes until softened and fragrant, with the onion translucent but not browned.
  3. Add the cauliflower florets and pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook uncovered for 12–15 minutes until the cauliflower is tender when pierced with a fork.
  4. Use an immersion blender directly in the pot to puree the cauliflower and broth until smooth and creamy. If using a regular blender, blend in batches carefully with hot liquid.
  5. Stir in the shredded chicken, heavy cream, and thyme. Warm through over low heat for 5 minutes, avoiding boiling to prevent curdling.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Stir in Parmesan cheese if using until melted and incorporated.
  7. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley and extra cracked pepper if desired.

Notes

If the soup is too thick, add extra broth or water to reach desired consistency. Use low heat when adding cream to avoid curdling. Frozen cauliflower can be used but may require adjusting simmer time. For dairy-free, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and butter with olive oil.
