The Best Keto Chicken Soup Recipe Ever

by Amanda C. Hughes

Today I made something heavenly. It was hot, it was salty, it had protein, it had a single carb per serving, it made me feel warm and toasty, and really, really full. Enjoy this tasty, brothy, Parmesan-based keto chicken soup recipe with a touch of Chardonnay and no noodles.

If I dare say so, it’s the best keto chicken soup recipe out there! The parmesan and chopped fresh rosemary really add that extra special something. Slurp it out of a big mug or bowl, but no matter what your vessel, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

I take little credit for the recipe as a whole, as it was adapted from a chicken soup recipe I got from Fox Run Vineyard a couple weekends ago, who adapted it from Paula Deen. I basically keto-ized it and it’s now a glorious treat!

I’m glad you liked it! I’m obsessed with this soup. I’m going to attempt a keto clam chowder soon!

printer friendly version?

@Adrianna Muse … I think you’ll do better by calling it “chowda”.  It’ll put you in that cold New England evening with the fireplace going, snow falling outside, a pantry full of the good stuff that you can experiment with in your Keto journey.  Share when you’re done, please!

Can you freeze this, or does the cream do weird things?

gnuism October 27, 2016 - 8:27 am

OMG this really is one of the best soups I’ve ever had! I’ve been down with a cold the last couple of days and this is just the ticket, it really seems to be helping and is soooo delicious! I scaled this down to two servings without any issue but I too am wondering if I can make the full recipe and freeze it. Would that work? This soup is really something I would love to have at hand in my freezer, it ticks all the boxes. At first I thought the quantity of water was rather large but I love that this is a “thin” soup… feels more nourishing somehow, and I think substantial fluid intake always helps get over colds quicker. Thank you for this!

Krando121 October 30, 2016 - 9:10 pm

Oh that was so good. I added mushrooms and spinach. Thanks so much

Sue September 25, 2017 - 6:51 pm

Just made this tonight….awesome!

Caris September 28, 2018 - 4:41 pm

I altered it only slightly ( I didn’t have wine) and the flavor of this recipe was just AMAZING!

Tammy November 27, 2018 - 4:42 pm

I changed the recipe because my chicken was already cooked. I used Better Than Bullion and added vegetables. The flavor is amazing. Even my husband liked it!

Shelly February 4, 2019 - 4:43 pm

Where do you get your nutritional information from? My calculations are 6 net carbs per serving.

Amanda C. Hughes February 4, 2019 - 4:44 pm

I typically use the nutrition facts on the products I’m using. 6 is too high, the only item that has substantial carbs is the onion, which is 10 total not per serving. I wonder if you’re calculating a heavy cream that has carbs vs most that have 0, or something like that?

Catherine November 8, 2019 - 9:49 am

I made this soup last winter and loved it. Just made it again and yum! I used the recipe as is except I just used low carb Pinot Grigio (already opened) and dried parsley and a little extra fresh rosemary. It makes a big batch and feels like instant comfort food. It has a really original taste but has become an instant favorite. What I love so much about it is that although it’s sinfully satisfying, it’s relatively low calories so it’s a perfect lunch or supper meal!






Jenn June 24, 2020 - 10:15 pm

I make this recipe all the time, in fact I’m back here today because I’m making it again and just wanted to say thanks!

Had never made chicken soup with heavy cream, this did not disappoint !






Callie Murphy July 6, 2020 - 10:57 pm

We love this creamy soup recipe. What are you thoughts on doing a thai version, perhaps adding some lemon grass and galangel and omitting the cheese? I used to love Tom Kha soup. This kind of reminded me of that for some reason.
