This is comfort food, right here! I wasn’t feeling well the other day. I needed chicken soup! I also needed something creamy. Here you go! Super easy! In fact, my chicken did not have enough time to thaw completely so I just cut up the frozen chicken and threw that into the pot.
Cut up the chicken breast meat into little bite size pieces. Chop up the veggies. Cook both in some Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Coconut oil or Red Palm Oil.
I also added a small cup of frozen veggies. This is an S chicken soup but there was not enough carbs in the small cup of frozen veggies to worry about. Add water or chicken broth to this.
Add spices, butter, and heavy whipping cream.
Allow to simmer on the pot.
Scoop a big, comforting bowl of this Creamy Chicken Soup! I also added a big bunch of washed chopped kale to my bowl. It was sooooooo good!!
This fed about 4 adults so I would increase the veggies, broth or water, & add maybe a cup of heavy whipping cream to make it go further!! It was really full of meat and veggies so you could just stretch the recipe by added more cream & broth or water! It was really good and filling! An S meal if you follow Trim Healthy Mama! This would also work well in a slow cooker!

If I wanted to thicken this up a bit, how much gluccie would I use? And how exactly do I add it??
Hmm… I would add a good teaspoon. Just mix really well. I haven’t used gluc in soups, I usually us xanthan gum but it should work the same! 🙂 Just sprinkle with one hand and stir! 🙂 Let me know how that turns out!!
I have some rotisserie chicken I need to use up, guess what we are having for dinner tomorrow night!!! Thanks for the inspiration.
This is one of my favorite “fall” soups! Soooo comforting!
Hoping to make this tomorrow. How would you make it in the crockpot?
Yes, I think it would work great in the crockpot. I would leave the cream off until the end maybe. 🙂
I’ve had this in the crock pot for several hours now minus the olive oil, veggies and cream. Wanted to wait and add veggies later to avoid them getting mushy and will add cream at the end. The butter I added is floating on the top of the soup. Will that change when I add the veggies and cream or do I need to try and skim it off?
Thanks
Yes it should mix together well when you add the rest of the ingredients… also give it a stir with each serving! 🙂
Does it say somewhere and I missed it; is this an (S) or an (E)? I see the butter & whipping cream, so I’m thinking (S).
Thank you, looks delicious!
It is an S! 🙂 Yummy, creamy, S! 🙂
My older sister would love this. I am so going to cook this one for her over the weekend.
