LOW CARB CHICKEN VEGETABLE SOUP RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat oil in a 6-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs and sear, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
• Add carrots and celery to the pan. Reduce heat to medium and cook until softened, about 10 minutes. Add onions and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add chicken stock, water, green beans, riced cauliflower, broccoli, tomato sauce, soup base, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Add chicken thighs and simmer until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 30 to 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Remove chicken and shred meat. Place shredded chicken back in the soup and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion, mushrooms, celery and carrots; cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to brown slightly, about 6 minutes. Stir in garlic, sage, cayenne (if using) and bay leaf; cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Stir in chicken, broth, salt and pepper.
• Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium; simmer, undisturbed, until the chicken is fork-tender, about 20 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, stir kale into the soup; return to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer, undisturbed, until the kale is tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Remove and discard bones from the chicken; shred the chicken. Stir lemon juice and the shredded chicken into the soup.
