A creamy, hearty chowder loaded with chicken, cauliflower, and smoky bacon — everything you love about comfort food, made keto.

Ingredients

  • 14 oz chicken breast or thighs (diced)
  • 4 strips bacon (chopped)
  • 1 small head cauliflower (chopped)
  • 1 small onion (diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions 

  • Cook bacon: In a large pot, fry bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside, keeping the fat in the pot.
  • Sauté aromatics: Add butter, onion, and garlic. Cook until soft and fragrant.
  • Add chicken: Stir in diced chicken and cook until lightly browned.
  • Simmer: Add cauliflower, broth, paprika, and thyme. Bring to a simmer and cook 15–20 minutes until cauliflower is tender.
  • Thicken: Use an immersion blender to blend part of the soup (about ⅓) to thicken while keeping chunks.
  • Add cream: Pour in heavy cream and stir. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Finish: Top with crispy bacon and chopped parsley before serving.
