2. Ingredients

  • 2 lbs cooked chicken breast, shredded
  • 4 cups chicken broth (preferably homemade or low-sodium)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups cauliflower florets, steamed or roasted
  • 1 cup celery, diced
  • 1 cup carrots, diced (optional—adjust for lower carbs)
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

3. Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Vegetables

Start by steaming or roasting the cauliflower florets until tender. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat, then add the diced onion, celery, and carrots (if using). Cook until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

Build the Soup Base

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Add the chicken broth, dried thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Add the Chicken and Vegetables

Drop in the shredded cooked chicken and steamed cauliflower. Stir everything together and let simmer for 10 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.

Finish with Creaminess

Pour in the heavy cream and stir well. Continue to simmer until the soup thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Serve and Garnish

Puree a portion of the soup with an immersion blender for a creamier texture or leave it chunky. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

4. Storage Tips

Allow the soup to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze in individual portions for up to 2 months. To reheat, gently warm on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of chicken broth if necessary to revive the creaminess.
