Keto Chicken Chowder – Important Notes

  • I am using boneless, skinless chicken breasts, you can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead.
  • For the dried sage, you can use poultry seasoning.
  • Substitute green beans with asparagus, green peas zucchini, or broccoli and turnips with potatoes if not on a keto diet.

How To Thicken This Keto Chicken Chowder Soup

To thicken the soup, I am using a mixture of soaked cashews and thawed cauliflower rice. If not a fan of cashews, pour in 3 cups chicken stock when cooking the soup and make it creamy with 1 cup coconut milk, Nutpods, or use heavy cream if you’re ok with dairy. Add the cauliflower rice, heavy cream, coconut milk, and Nutpods to the blender and blend.
