For a richer flavor, consider browning the chicken before adding it to the soup. Feel free to add other low-carb vegetables like cauliflower florets, broccoli, or spinach. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end can brighten the flavors.
Savor the comforting embrace of this Low-Carb Chicken Vegetable Soup. A nourishing symphony of tender chicken and vibrant vegetables steeped in a rich, flavorful broth, crafted to delight your palate without the carbs.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the water, chicken stock, celery, carrots, onion, parsley, garlic, bay leaf, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and allow to simmer until the vegetables are tender, approximately 20-30 minutes.
Add the cooked chicken and sliced yellow squash to the pot. Increase the heat slightly and simmer until the squash is tender and the chicken is heated through, about 10 minutes more.
Remove the bay leaf before serving. Adjust seasonings to taste.
