Ingredients Needed for This Simple Marry Me Chicken Soup Keto Recipe

Here's what you'll need to cook up some magic:

• Chicken:
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
• Aromatics:
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
• Liquids:
  • 4 cups chicken broth (low sodium)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup dry white wine (optional, but adds great flavor)
• Cheese:
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
• Seasonings:
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a little kick)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
• Extras for Serving:
  • Fresh basil or parsley, chopped
  • Grated parmesan cheese

How to Make This Simple Marry Me Chicken Soup Keto Recipe

Ready to get cooking? Here's how we do it:

1. Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Take care not to burn the garlic.
2. Brown the Chicken: Add the bite-sized chicken to the pot and cook until browned on all sides. Don’t worry about cooking it all the way through at this point.
3. Deglaze (Optional): If using white wine, pour it into the pot and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for a minute or two to reduce the alcohol.
4. Add Broth and Seasonings: Pour in the chicken broth, then stir in the Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
5. Simmer Until Chicken is Cooked: Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
6. Add Cream Cheese: Stir in the softened cream cheese until it's completely melted and the soup is creamy.
7. Stir in Cream and Parmesan: Pour in the heavy cream and stir in the grated parmesan cheese. Simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the soup is heated through.
8. Adjust Seasonings: Taste the soup and adjust the salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes as needed.
9. Serve: Ladle the Simple Marry Me Chicken Soup Keto into bowls and garnish with fresh basil or parsley and extra grated parmesan cheese.

How to Serve This Simple Marry Me Chicken Soup Keto Recipe

This comforting soup is perfect on its own but also pairs beautifully with a few simple sides. A side of steamed broccoli or cauliflower rice makes a delicious and keto-friendly accompaniment. Top it with fresh basil and parmesan cheese.

Consider plating with a swirl of heavy cream for an extra touch of elegance. We also think this soup would be delicious with some crusty bread or perhaps something like our Bbq Chicken Pizza 2.

How to Store This Simple Marry Me Chicken Soup Keto Recipe

• Refrigeration: Let the soup cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

Tips to Make This Simple Marry Me Chicken Soup Keto Recipe

• Ingredient Swaps: If you don’t have heavy cream, you can use full-fat coconut milk (canned, not the refrigerated kind) for a dairy-free option. For the parmesan, nutritional yeast can be used.
• Success Tips: Don't overcook the chicken! Overcooked chicken can become dry and tough. Cook it just until it's cooked through .
• Common Mistakes to Avoid: Be careful not to burn the garlic when sautéing. Burnt garlic can make the soup taste bitter.
• Pro Tip: For an even richer flavor, use bone broth instead of regular chicken broth.

Helpful Notes for This Simple Marry Me Chicken Soup Keto Recipe

• Chicken: We recommend using chicken breasts for this recipe, but you can also use chicken thighs for a richer flavor.
• Heavy Cream: If you want a lighter soup, you can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream, but the soup won't be as creamy.
• Wine: We recommend using a dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio for this recipe.
• Cheese: Pre shredded is a convenient option if you do not have block cheese on hand.
