Famous Keto Chicken Soup #keto #chickensoup
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped onions
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cubed
- 8 ounces riced cauliflower (about 2 cups)
Instructions:
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the celery and onions and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic, thyme, and paprika and cook until fragrant, about another minute. Stir in the broth and bring to a boil.
- Add the chicken and riced cauliflower and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until the chicken is cooked through and the cauliflower is tender, about 12 minutes. Adjust the salt and pepper to taste.
NOTES:
Cook and freeze this soup without the cauliflower and then add the cauliflower when reheating the soup, so it does not get mushy.Why Soups & Stews Are The Perfect Keto Food
