Soup is a wonderful comfort food that is so easy to make. Whether you want a quick lunch, a light dinner, or a warm and soothing meal, soup is the perfect choice.
One of the most popular types of soup is chicken soup, which is known for its many health benefits and comforting properties. This soup is often called “good for the soul” because it has been shown to reduce inflammation, boost the immune system, and even help alleviate cold and flu symptoms.
Whether you are feeling under the weather or simply need a warm and comforting meal, chicken soup is a delicious and nutritious option that is sure to satisfy your cravings.
My parents have made delicious soups, and my grandmothers have made the best recipes. They have perfected many recipes over the years. I am grateful to have grown up enjoying such delicious and nourishing soups.
Why a low carb chicken soup recipe?
Low-carb diets can be effective for weight loss because they limit the consumption of carbohydrates, forcing the body to burn fat for energy instead. Also, low-carb diets have been shown to reduce insulin levels, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels and decrease the risk of some chronic diseases.

What you’ll love about this recipe:
Try changing it up with these tips:
- For this recipe, we boiled our chicken first. You can bake it, pick up a rotisserie chicken at your local grocery store, or use leftover chicken.
- You can also use shredded chicken instead of cubes. I have made it both ways, but we prefer cubing it because that’s what I grew up with.
- Don’t like using fresh garlic, use a tablespoon of minced garlic instead.
- No time to stay in the kitchen. Pull out the slow cooker and throw in the ingredients for an easy dinner recipe.
