Low Carb Chicken Soup
There seems to be a case of the sniffles going around and of course I was one of the unlucky few to get it. While looking over at the empty box of tissues I knew I was in need of some healing comfort food.
And what better antidote for a cold then some good ol’ chicken soup. So, I ran to the grocery store and picked up some veggies that I know would make a great combination and hopefully boost my immune system.
The ingredients are flexible. If you aren’t to crazy about of the ingredients then feel free to change it out to something you might like better.
This low carb chicken soup was quick, easy and absolutely delicious. There’s something about steaming savory broth with tender bites of chicken and vegetables that I just can’t get enough of.
Especially when I’m feeling sick and bed ridden. The best part about a soup like this is that you just chop, throw them in a pot, cover with water, and let it simmer for about an hour and half.

It was delicious! Thank you, I am feeling a lot better now. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it, sick or not. 🙂
This chicken soup was delicious. I left out the green beans (personal preference) and added a little more of the other veggies – deeeeeelicious! I am going totry the Broccoli and Cheese soup this weekend!
Cynthia, I’m really glad you enjoyed the chicken soup! I’m sure you’ll enjoy the broccoli cheese soup, it’s one of my ultimate favorites.
This recipe is delicious and so easy to make! We sautéed the onions along with a red bell pepper in a touch of olive oil before adding the other ingredients. We put it all in the crockpot and cooked it for 4 hours while we were out. Great to come home to a delicious pot of soup!
Great to hear you enjoyed the recipe! I really need to join the crockpot fad, I have yet to buy one!
Just found you and I Love the recipes!!!
I’m going to spiral the yellow and zucchini squashes to give me that “noodle” feel I love in chicken soup.
This sounds delicious – I’ll let you know how it works out. Thanks for all you do!
Hope you are well and prospering.
