    Creamy Garlic Chicken Soup [Recipe]

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    I was over the moon excited when I received my subscription box from Keto Delivered. I’m talking Christmas morning excited, you guys! The only thing I ever get in the mail is bills and silly stuff I order from Amazon now and then… not mysterious packages with goodies tailor-made just for me. Everything in the box was a complete surprise. I swear this was the coolest mail EVAR! When I opened it to discover Stacey Hawkin’s Garlic Gusto spice blend, I immediately rushed to the fridge to find something to make with it. There it was: shredded chicken. Creamy garlic chicken soup was the logical next step.

    Don't forget to PIN it for later! ?

    Creamy Garlic Chicken Soup - Low Carb Keto Soup Recipe

    I have a thing for shredded chicken. Seriously, it’s always in the fridge ready to go. Having pre-cooked protein stocked in the fridge is the secret to successful meal planning; it just makes life a little easier when one of your main ingredients is already taken care of. My shredded chicken chili has been a huge hit here, so I know you guys will just love this! This creamy garlic chicken is one of the tastiest soups this blog has ever seen.

    To prepare the creamy garlic chicken soup, I heated butter in a saucepan and added the shredded chicken. Once the chicken was warmed and coated in butter, I added the cream cheese to the pot and mixed as it melted over medium heat. Next, chicken broth and a bit of heavy cream were added in and brought to a boil. Just reduce the heat to low and simmer for several minutes to finish it off. Boom. Done.

      Hello! I found your site today and decided to subscribe to it, you have a wonderful blog!

      however, I would like to know if it is normal to have the pop up window constantly showing up, even after I subscribed to the site. Just as I was typing this comment, it popped up again, and to get rid of it, I had to leave the comment section, only to come back and see all that I typed was gone... ;-(

      is there a way to disable that feature for people who already subscribe to your site?

Also it might be interesting to ask a few of your old time subscribers -maybe it could be something linked to Safari and a MacBook Pro? Maybe Chrome would act differently?

        September 07, 2016 at 9:32 am

        The main ingredients of the spice mix are parsley, garlic, onion, lemon peel, and paprika. If you don't have the spice mix, I would start with garlic and onion powder to replace for the main base of the flavor. There's a very strong garlic onion flavor. If you have parsley, paprika or lemon peel on hand you could add those in and adjust to suit your taste. Hope that helps!

      Found this recipe this past weekend and decided to give it a shot. It is by far one of the best soups I've ever made/eaten. I added mushrooms and diced onions (softened in the butter before adding the chicken), and used minced garlic, lemon juice, dried parsley, and sweet paprika instead of the seasoning mix in the recipe since I don't have any. Will definitely be adding this to my dinner rotation.

      Thank you for such a delicious recipe!

      I didn't have the specific seasoning mix this called for but I read what you said it mostly consisted of (thanks for that guidance) and got to work. I used the chicken broth, cream cheese, butter, and then added minced garlic, parsley, a little paprika, a little extra powdered chicken broth for flavor, lemon pepper seasoning and lemon juice. Oh my gosh, the broth was amazing. I then added chopped celery, pearl onions, and riced cauliflower in with the chicken. This is the best soup recipe. I obviously added a little to it, but I followed the main idea. My husband even likes it, and he's not on my diet. Thanks so much! Will be making more of this!!!

        I haven't tried it with this specific recipe, but I love using coconut milk in soups. I think it would actually work really well here and is dairy free. You could also try almond milk, but I'm afraid it wouldn't be as thick and creamy as the other option. Hope that helps!

        The nutrition labels are for one serving. It totals all the ingredients, then divides it by number of servings. For this recipe, it would be 1/4th of the whole recipe since the recipe makes 4 servings. Hope that helps!

        I haven't personally tried freezing it, so I'm not 100% sure. I know that heavy cream freezes well, but lighter creams don't really hold up once they are frozen. The soup has a relatively high fat content, so my guess would be that it would be possible to freeze and reheat for later.

        Has anyone else tried freezing? Let us know! 😎

        We have social sharing buttons at the top of the recipe and in a floating sidebar--they should be viewable on most devices, but they don't appear in the fast-loading AMP version of our site. That could be the issue if you're viewing on a mobile device.

      This soup is absolutely delicious! My husband and two young children loved it as well. My husband demanded that I make it the next day as well and double it so we can have leftovers. The second time I made it I also added some steamed broccoli. And the third time I made it instead of chicken I did it with Italian sausage, and it tasted like Zuppa Toscana. Just need to add kale. This recipe is so easy and quick to make, it is definitely going to be in a regular rotation at my house. Thank you!

      This was great. I did make some changes but I know it would have been great otherwise too. I didn't have that seasoning and I'm glad you added what was in it. I melted the butter and sauteed onion, garlic, and celery. Added the paprika and parsley. Then added the chicken. I had leftover cooked bacon and raw spinach which I added to the soup. It was fabulous. Will make it again and again.

        Hi there! Thanks for your question. I haven't used half and half in this recipe before, but it's pretty common in soup. It won't be quite as thick/creamy and the taste won't be as rich, but you could give it a shot if that's all you have on hand.

        Some of the best results come from experimenting!

      I’ve been on the keto diet for a little over two months and lost 30 lbs. I’ve tried many things to change up the same old foods but this was my first “keto” soup and it was very delicious. This recipe was simple and quick which I liked very much. However I do like thicker soups and found this to be just a little bit on the thin side so I added about 1/8 cup of grated Parmesan cheese and it worked out well. I definitely will be making this again!
