Keto Turmeric Chicken Soup

Keto Turmeric Chicken Soup is tasty, filling, and also keeps carbs to a minimum while fusing the comforting, traditional chicken soup with the therapeutic benefits of turmeric. It is the ideal meal for people on a keto diet or just looking for a healthy, anti-inflammatory choice because it is high in protein and good fats from coconut milk. Simmering in a golden, spicy broth, tender chicken, cauliflower, and greens provide warmth and nourishment with each bite. This Keto Turmeric Chicken Soup provides a tasty way to support your health objectives, whether you’re cleaning your system, recuperating from a cold, or just in need of something comforting. For extra brightness, garnish with fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon.

1 lb. without bone & skin chicken thighs
Four cups chicken broth
1 cup coconut milk
One cup cut cauliflower florets
One cup chopped spinach or kale
Salt and pepper
½ lemon juice
Fresh cilantro

INGREDIENTS NOTES:

CHICKEN:

We can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs for this soup, because they add more moisture and taste. You may use chicken breasts instead but if you want something leaner. You can alternatively use precooked chicken, such as rotisserie chicken for easier preparation.

TURMERIC:

The dish’s main ingredient is turmeric, a bright yellow spice that adds not just its distinctive hue but also a host of health advantages, most notably its ability to reduce inflammation. We have to use freshly ground turmeric for optimal flavor.

COCONUT MILK:

We have to use the full-fat coconut milk so that it gives the soup a thick, creamy texture that goes well with the spices and keeps it keto-friendly. We can also use the heavy cream in its place but the flavor might change.

CAULIFLOWER:

Cauliflower is a great low-carb substitute for potatoes that gives the soup body and texture without affecting your keto macros.

VEGETABLES:

The addition of greens, such as spinach or kale, to soup, increases its nutritional value by adding fiber, vitamins, and minerals. We can also add Swiss chard or collard green or any other leafy vegetables.

LEMNON JUICE:

We can also add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the very end makes the soup more vibrant and counter balances the richness of the coconut milk although it is optional.
