3. Step-by-Step Instructions for Making Keto Chicken Pot Pie Soup

Preparing the Vegetables and Chicken

Begin by chopping the cauliflower, celery, carrots, and onion. Cook the chicken if not already prepared, then shred or dice. Set aside.

Sautéing Aromatics and Vegetables

In a large pot, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent. Then, add the celery and carrots, cooking until slightly tender, about 5 minutes.

Simmering the Soup Base

Add the cauliflower florets, chicken broth, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes until the cauliflower is tender.

Blending for Creaminess

Use an immersion blender or transfer the soup in batches to a blender, blending until smooth. Return the blended soup to the pot and stir in the heavy cream or coconut cream. Adjust seasonings as needed.

Adding Chicken and Final Touches

Stir in the cooked chicken and heat through for another 5 minutes. For extra richness, top with shredded cheese or chopped fresh parsley before serving.

4. Storage Tips for Leftover Keto Chicken Pot Pie Soup

Let the soup cool completely before storing it in airtight containers. It will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm gently on the stove or in the microwave until steaming hot. For longer storage, freeze in individual portions, and thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
