Today I made something heavenly. It was hot, it was salty, it had protein, it had a single carb per serving, it made me feel warm and toasty, and really, really full.Enjoy this tasty, brothy, Parmesan-based keto chicken soup recipe with a touch of Chardonnay and no noodles.

If I dare say so, it’s the best keto chicken soup recipe out there! The parmesan and chopped fresh rosemary really add that extra special something. Slurp it out of a big mug or bowl, but no matter what your vessel, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

I take little credit for the recipe as a whole, as it was adapted from a chicken soup recipe I got from Fox Run Vineyard a couple weekends ago, who adapted it from Paula Deen. I basically keto-ized it and it’s now a glorious treat!

Can you freeze this, or does the cream do weird things?

OMG this really is one of the best soups I’ve ever had! I’ve been down with a cold the last couple of days and this is just the ticket, it really seems to be helping and is soooo delicious! I scaled this down to two servings without any issue but I too am wondering if I can make the full recipe and freeze it. Would that work? This soup is really something I would love to have at hand in my freezer, it ticks all the boxes. At first I thought the quantity of water was rather large but I love that this is a “thin” soup… feels more nourishing somehow, and I think substantial fluid intake always helps get over colds quicker. Thank you for this!

Where do you get your nutritional information from? My calculations are 6 net carbs per serving.

The Best Keto Chicken Soup Recipe Ever (21)

Amanda C. HughesFebruary 4, 2019 - 4:44 pm

I typically use the nutrition facts on the products I’m using. 6 is too high, the only item that has substantial carbs is the onion, which is 10 total not per serving. I wonder if you’re calculating a heavy cream that has carbs vs most that have 0, or something like that?

I made this soup last winter and loved it. Just made it again and yum! I used the recipe as is except I just used low carb Pinot Grigio (already opened) and dried parsley and a little extra fresh rosemary. It makes a big batch and feels like instant comfort food. It has a really original taste but has become an instant favorite. What I love so much about it is that although it’s sinfully satisfying, it’s relatively low calories so it’s a perfect lunch or supper meal!

We love this creamy soup recipe. What are you thoughts on doing a thai version, perhaps adding some lemon grass and galangel and omitting the cheese? I used to love Tom Kha soup. This kind of reminded me of that for some reason.
