Step 3: Cook the Chicken
- Add the diced chicken to the pot, stirring to combine with the vegetables.
- Cook until the chicken pieces are lightly browned on all sides, about 5–6 minutes.
Note: Using thighs adds richness, but breast meat works perfectly for a leaner option.
Step 4: Add Broth and Seasonings
- Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, making sure the ingredients are fully submerged.
- Stir in the thyme and rosemary, and season with salt and pepper.
- Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes.
Why simmer? This slow cooking allows the flavors to meld and the vegetables to become tender without breaking apart.
Step 5: Add Creaminess
- Slowly stir in the heavy cream or coconut milk, creating a luscious, velvety broth.
- Simmer for another 5–10 minutes to allow the soup to thicken slightly.
Alternative: For an ultra-creamy texture, blend half of the soup with an immersion blender before adding the cream.
Step 6: Taste and Adjust
- Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed.
- For extra depth, add a splash of lemon juice or a pinch of nutmeg—just enough to brighten the flavor.
Step 7: Serve and Garnish
- Ladle the soup into bowls.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
- Serve immediately, ideally with a low-carb bread or a sprinkle of cheese on top.
Why This Soup Feels So Cozy
- Low-carb magic: The cauliflower and cream mimic the heartiness of potatoes and flour-based thickeners without the carbs.
- Protein-packed: Chicken keeps you full longer, making this soup a satisfying meal on its own.
- Comfort in every spoon: The warm, creamy broth is soothing, like a hug from Grandma herself.
