Low Carb Chicken Soup. There is not anything much more satisfying than a bowl of low carb chicken soup after a hard day’s work and this will not disappoint. It’s hearty, stick to your ribs, has all the flavors, and none of the carbs, and made rich with the addition of 40% heavy cream. This has been a restaurant trick for a long time but I think because of the fat fear mongering that is going on to this day, people have been afraid to use it and happy to not think about it when served in a restaurant.

- If using a commercial chicken stock only add chicken base to taste as the stock will probably have lots of salt.
- Now that you have the basic recipe you can delete and/or insert you own herbs to suit your tastes.
- And oh yeah, leftover frozen turkey works just as well for this dish.
- I find it quite satisfying to pull a whole chicken and if you poach and pull 2-3 chickens at once you will save a lot of time when next you want to make this or any other dish calling for pulled chicken.
