A rich, low-carb chicken soup made with roasted garlic, tender chicken, and a creamy broth. Comforting, filling, and perfect for keto meal prep or cozy dinners.
- 2 lb boneless (skinless chicken breasts or thighs)
- 2 whole garlic heads
- 2 tbsp olive oil (divided)
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1½ cups heavy cream
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- ½ tsp dried rosemary
- ¾ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
Preheat oven to 400°F. Slice the tops off the garlic heads, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 35–40 minutes until soft.
Heat remaining olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chicken and sear lightly on both sides.
Pour in chicken broth, bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook for 20 minutes until chicken is fully cooked.
Remove chicken, shred it, and return it to the pot.
Squeeze roasted garlic cloves into the soup and stir to combine.
Add heavy cream, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Simmer gently for 5–10 minutes without boiling.
Taste and adjust seasoning before serving.
