Low Carb Heavenly Creamy Chicken Soup Recipe

Ingredients:

2 cups chicken stock
1 Tbsp butter (optional)
2 Tbsp olive oil (optional)
1 cup raw, chopped broccoli
½ cup raw, chopped cauliflower (about 1-inch pieces)
½ cup chopped sweet green pepper
½ cup chopped zucchini
   salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 cup diced, skinless chicken
½ cup heavy cream

Ingredients:

Put stock in a medium saucepan.  Add optional butter and/or olive oil.  Add vegetables.  Add salt and freshly ground pepper.  Simmer until vegetables are tender.  This is a clear soup.  If you want the soup to be slightly thicker, you can mash some veggies (right in the pot) with a potato masher or put half of the veggies (or as many as you like) in a blender or food processor and puree briefly, then return to soup.  Add the diced chicken and heavy cream last.  Reheat if needed.  Adjust seasonings and serve.

Based on a ¼ cup serving, heavy cream adds 1.6 grams of carb per serving.
