Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, diced
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups cauliflower florets
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 4 cups chicken broth (low sodium)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Brown the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced chicken thighs and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes, ensuring the meat is sealed and flavorful.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent, which enhances the base flavor of the soup.
  3. Add Vegetables: Stir in the cauliflower florets and chopped celery. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally to soften the vegetables slightly.
  4. Simmer the Soup: Pour in the chicken broth and add the dried thyme. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the flavors meld together.
  5. Add Cream and Season: Stir in the heavy cream and season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Let it simmer gently for an additional 5 minutes to thicken and combine the richness.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the hearty soup into bowls and garnish with the chopped fresh parsley before serving for a fresh, vibrant finish.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free option, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream.
  • Use low-sodium chicken broth to better control the salt content.
  • You can add other keto-friendly vegetables like spinach or zucchini for extra nutrients.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently over low heat.
  • Adjust seasoning at the end to suit your taste preferences.
