Cutting board
Chef’s knife
Large pot
Measuring cups and spoons
Stirring Spoon

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, diced about 1 cup
2 cloves garlic, minced about 2 teaspoons
1 pound chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
4 cups chicken broth
1 small head of cabbage, chopped about 6 cups
1 medium carrot, julienned (optional for keto) about 1/2 cup
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare Ingredients: Start by prepping your vegetables and chicken. Dice the onion, mince the garlic, chop the cabbage, and julienne the carrot if using. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized chunks.
Sauté Onions and Garlic: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until it's translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Brown Chicken: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chicken pieces to the pot. Season with salt and pepper, and sauté until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 5-6 minutes.
Add Liquids and Herbs: Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the chopped cabbage, julienned carrot (if using), thyme, and oregano. Adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer.
Cook Soup: Let the soup cook for about 15 minutes or until the cabbage is tender and the chicken is cooked through.
Season and Serve: Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

If you're strictly monitoring your carb intake, you can opt to leave out the carrot to further reduce the carb count.

Feel free to add other keto-friendly vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers to suit your taste preferences.

This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for a quick ready-made meal.
