This Creamy Chicken soup is a low carb bowl of comfort waiting for you! It’s keto, gluten free and easy to make!
Creamy Chicken Soup
I’m such a fan of this soup. It’s creamy and rich and so nourishing. It comes together in only a very short time yet is impressive enough to serve as a dinner party starter. By including generous amounts of shredded poached chicken, this soup is such a satisfying meal and is perfect on a chilly day. Try placing it in a thermos for a hot lunch.
I like to garnish mine with crispy fried prosciutto, but that isn’t a necessity. It’s delicious all on it’s own!
It might be that it’s the winter season where I live or just the fact that I love soups, whatever it is, you’re going to want to make this deliciousness! Top with crispy bacon or prosciutto and you’ll be licking the bowl. Even kids will love this creamy bowl!

Can you make it without the cheese?
What is the purpose of blending 1/2 the chicken? Just curious. Thanks in advance, and for all of your yummy recipes. We’ve added several into our regular mix of meals.
It actually helps thicken the soup a bit.
Omg this is a very nice recipe. I bought chicken broth and cooked the chicken in it. Did not need to add any other salt just added pepper. Blending half the chicken made it a nice texture but I added extra cream and extra broth and simmered it was great. Thank you.
What can I use instead of the Heavy Cream..or a GF, Dairy free, Soy free alt…
Thank you
canned coconut milk might work the same
