Delicious!!! I made this for dinner last night, just subbed leftover Christmas turkey for the chicken. My whole family loved it— will definitely make again with chicken.

Already made another batch with chicken-- just as delicious and so easy to make and freeze for lunches!  I love the freshness of the lemon and dill.

I'm pescatarian so I left the chicken out of this soup and it was *still* absolutely amazing. I used vegetable broth for the base and it was perfect. I might even add some roasted tofu on top next time but either way, delicious!

This soup was amazing! It seems so simple yet has so much flavor! I've made other soups like this before and the flavor is always lacking but this was so so good! I hate leftovers of any kind and even ate this for lunch the next day. Thanks Ashlea for an amazing chicken soup recipe!

This soup is a bowl of comfort! Big hit in my family, even from my littles.

This soup is amazing delicious! I made it last night with Turkey and just WOW! Thank you for this amazing recipe!

Love this soup. Fairly easy and loads of flavor. It’s my number one chicken soup and I make lots of them!!! Thank you

This is so simple and perfect!   
The numeric, dill and lemon take it over the top.   I don't miss rice or noodles in it at all.

Another winner! I made this for myself when I was feeling under the weather, but my husband ended up eating it as well. He even drank the last of it straight from the bowl (and he usually doesn’t like anything with shredded chicken). So many thanks for the great recipe!

Ashlea,

This chicken soup is amazing.  I brought it to a friend who was sick and it was the only 
thing she could eat.  She thought it was yummy.  Your comments in the blog are so helpful.
I am looking to find other recipes for my family.  This quick but healthy soup is now in my file to make again and again.
Thans so much.

I made this soup using the breast meat from a roasted chicken. I didn't know if it would work using already-cooked meat, but I followed the recipe and simply cooked the veggies longer, then added in the chicken toward the end. I also added some oyster mushrooms and some small yellow potatoes diced. The flavor for this soup is outstanding, and love the tumeric and thyme and the bit of lemon. I will definitely make this again! I love to make chicken soups and this is one of my top three recipes now.

This is delicious. More flavor than other recipes I've tried. Next time I will use one bay leaf instead of two.

Your healthy chicken soup is a weekly favorite for me!  I have sent the recipe to probably five others as well.  It’s just perfect - from the searing chicken to added lemon zest and juice.  It’s a five-star winner!!

Absolutely the best chicken soup, and I love the variations and substitutions! I've made it twice in the last week- the fist pot disappeared immediately! So glad I found this recipe- it's a total winner!

This is the MOST flavorful chicken soup I have had…everyone agrees! I added some frozen peas at the end for color. So Yummy! We just finished off the leftovers for lunch. I’ll be making this on repeat. A total winner! Thanks, Ashlea:)

My wife was down with flu resulting in me being the chef for a few days. I was very lucky to come across your healthy chicken soup recipe. It was a walk in the park - all ingredients in the cupboard and I could just go crazy )). The soup came out perfect, so much so that my wife has everybody looking for a copy of the recipe. Thank you so much for turning me into a Michelin soup chef )))
Regards. Hans

I love this soup!  Just made it for the second time, clearing out random veggies from the fridge.   Flexibility is so practical in recipes - I always seem to be missing one or more ingredients.  Thank you!

The Best Low Carb Keto Chicken Soup

butter olive oil

yellow onion (finely diced (87 grams))

carrots (peeled and chopped (122 grams))

leek (chopped (67 grams))

celery (chopped (120 grams))

thyme leaves (chopped)

parsley

chicken stock (1.5 litres)

salt (or

tsp black pepper (or

chicken (300 grams)

cavolo nero or kale (50 grams)

lemon juice

Heat 1 tbsp of butter or olive oil in a non stick soup pot and sauté on a medium heat the onion, carrots, leek and celery with chopped thyme and about 2/3rds of the parsley for about 5 minutes until beginning to soften. Add the garlic and sauté for another 2 - 3 minutes.

Add the stock, bay leaves, season and bring to boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook with lid on for 15 minutes.

Add the cooked chicken. Remove half mixture and bay leaves and pulse with stick blender. This thickens the soup and adds flavour.

Add the rest of soup back into the pan along with the greens and simmer until they soften (about 1 minute.)

Mix the lemon juice with olive oil and swirl into the soup and top with fresh parsley. Adjust seasoning to taste and enjoy. To make it even more delicious I like to swirl through a little butter at the end before serving too!

Warming, comforting and hearty: homemade Keto chicken soup is like a hug in a bowl! This easy low carb and Paleo recipe is packed with chicken, vegetables, fresh herbs and plenty of flavour.

Keto Chicken Soup

Homemade Chinese Chicken Soup tastes just like what you get in Chinese restaurants. Enjoy a pot of easy Asian chicken soup made Paleo and gluten-free!

Chinese Chicken Soup Recipe

3-4.5 lbs whole chicken (giblets removed (see notes))

carrots (optional)

celery (optional)

baby spareribs (dice up or whole, optional)

water

Salt

Cilantro and chopped scallions (optional)

In a 6-quart Instant Pot, add chicken, carrots, celery, spareribs, if using, and one Chinese herbal packet.

Fill the pot with enough water to just cover the entire chicken, 8 to 10 cups. The pressure cooker should not be more than two-thirds full.

Seal the lid and valve. Set for high pressure for 50 minutes. Allow the soup to come to natural pressure release.  Please Do Not use quick release.

For slow cooker, cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or up to 24 hours.

For stovetop, bring the ingredients to a boil in a soup pot, then lower the heat and simmer for 1 ½ to 2 hours. You may need to add a bit more water to compensate for evaporation.

Season with salt to taste. Add garnish before serving if desired.

I would give 10 stars if I could! Absolutely delicious! The spare ribs added a lot of fat so I had to cool after making initially to harden and remove the fat cap but the flavor is just divine! 

I just bought my first two packets of herbs from this company. Can't wait to try them. Do you ever add other aromatics, like garlic and ginger?

This soup is so beautiful and healing, plus I love that it is slow cooker and Instant Pot friendly.  I've tasted gogi berries before and loved them, but never in a soup . . . therefore I can't wait to try your recipe later this week!

Made this soup and loved it! Love root and spring too! Was a flavor bomb without much work. ❤️I heartumami!!

I definitely need to try their packets! I've never had Chinese chicken soup but your post has me wanting to try it. My chicken soup is so boring!

That is an excellent price for the ginseng packet. I love making soup like this but the ingredients are often hard to source or not affordable. Thanks for sharing that product!

Love how nourishing this is! Lovely flavours!

Sounds nourishing and delicious! I never thought to add ribs to my chicken soup. I bet it gives a nice flavor. :)

This is such a great big bowl of comfort. And I love that you use both chicken and spareribs. I never would've thought of that but I love it!

High quality herbs make such a huge difference!

I love ginseng in chicken soup! There's actually a similar Korean soup like this and I love it. Can't wait to try your version.

Yummy! This very much reminds me of some of the Chinese soups my mom makes - so nourishing!
