My basic Keto soup
2 lbs of chicken cubed
1 stick butter
5-8 oz cream ( I usually use a can of puck cream)
4-6 garlic cloves minced
.5 lb brussel sprouts (halved if large)
.5 lbs carrots (baby carrots or diced)
I usually use about 6 thai peppers chopped (adjust for spice tolerance)
3 sticks of celery diced
1/2 head of cauliflower
.5 lbs kale
.5 lbs spinach
2 tsp red chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp hungarian paprika
1 tsp ginger (fresh grated is best)
1 tbsp honey (adds a couple carbs per serving)
1 large onion, diced
Salt and pepper to taste
Sometimes i basically do the same thing but want more of an asian style, so I just add in a bit of allspice, fish sauce, oyster sauce, soy sauce, allspice and cloves.
Put half of the butter in large pot
Brown salt and pepper chicken in large soup pot or dutch oven. Remove and reserve.
Add remainder of butter and add cumin, chili powder and paprika, sautee a couple minutes until well integrated
Keeping on heat without burning butter add onions and garlic
Sautee for 2-3 minutes and add brussel sprouts, chili peppers and carrots, stir often and sautee for 5 minutes.
Add 1 cup chicken stock and greens and rest of veggies, turn down to low and simmer with lid on 3 minutes. Add a bit of salt at least on top of all the greens
Return to stir, simmer 3 more minutes
Add rest of chicken stock and stir to incorporate, let cook, covered for 10-15 minutes just until cauliflowe starts getting tender.
Add any water if you need to
Add cream and incorporate, then add chicken back in
Simmer 5 minutes, taste and add salt and pepper to taste.
(Add some parmesan cheese if you want it cheesy)
