Chicken Soup Ingredients

VEGETABLES: Sauteed onions, carrots, and celery give the soup its hearty base flavor, but feel free to cook with other savory veggies like chopped broccoli or sliced brussels sprouts for an even healthier, heartier version.

SEASONINGS: Garlic, parsley, and thyme give this soup light and fresh herb flavor that complements the cauliflower rice and chicken. But, adding a spoon full of Italian seasoning or even some powdered Ranch dressing will give the soup a new dimension of flavor.

CHICKEN: Chicken is perfect for any kind of soup and chicken breast is always tender and mild flavored. But leftover chicken, ground meat like turkey or sausage, even pre-made mini meatballs make the dish easy and still low carb!

How To Make Chicken Cauliflower Rice Soup

Take the traditional chicken soup recipe to a new level with fresh cauliflower rice and rich flavors that satisfy every taste!

  1. Saute onions, carrots, and celery in oil until softened & fragrant.
  2. Add garlic & herbs and cook down.
  3. Add salt, pepper, broth, & chicken. Cook per recipe below, then remove the chicken and shred
  4. Add heavy cream and cauliflower rice to the pot along with shredded chicken. Cook another minute and serve immediately.

PRO TIP: Garnish each bowl of soup with a squirt of lemon juice or a little lemon zest.

Recipe Tips!

  • Cauliflower rice is found in the frozen food aisle, but can be easily made from scratch! Simply cut a cleaned and dry head of cauliflower into quarters and grate each quarter over a box grater or grate in a food processor. Place the cauliflower rice in a colander lined with paper towels (or cheesecloth) and squeeze out the liquid. Spread cauliflower rice on a baking sheet and set aside until ready to use.
  • Save some time and use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken for the chicken breast in the soup. It’s already seasoned and ready for shredding or dicing.
