If you’re looking for a low-carb chicken detox soup, here’s a simple version inspired by popular low-carb recipes that use chicken, non-starchy vegetables, garlic, ginger, and broth. These soups are low in carbohydrates and high in protein and vegetables.
🥣 Low-Carb Chicken Detox Soup
Ingredients (4–6 servings)
- 500 g boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup cauliflower florets
- 2 celery stalks, sliced
- ½ bell pepper, diced
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the celery, bell pepper, broccoli, and cauliflower. Cook for about 5 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth and add the chicken breast.
- Bring to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
- Remove the chicken, shred it with two forks, and return it to the pot.
- Simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Stir in the lemon juice, season to taste, and serve.
💡 A note on “detox”
Despite the name, there’s no scientific evidence that a specific soup “detoxifies” your body. Your liver and kidneys already perform detoxification. However, a soup like this can be a nutritious, low-carb meal because it’s rich in vegetables, protein, and fluids.
Nutrition highlights
- High in protein from chicken
- Low in net carbohydrates
- Rich in vegetables and fiber
- Filling without relying on pasta, rice, or potatoes
If you’d like, I can also give you a keto version (under 5 g net carbs per serving) or a Southwest spicy version.
