Notes
5.1 NET CARBS PER SERVING
Buy your chicken in advance when it’s on sale so you can cook it up and freeze it in portions. That way when you need to cook a quick meal the meat will be ready to go.
So do not overcook your veggies until they are mushy.
Pre-cook your low carb noodles or rice and then add them to the pot after the soup is cooked or add them to your individual bowls.
Storing: Store your keto chicken soup in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 4-5 days.
Reheating: It is easy to reheat your low carb chicken soup in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or on the stove top in a saucepan on medium heat until it reaches the desired heat.
Freezing: Your low carb soup will freeze well in an airtight container for about 3 months.
