During the fall and winter months, I always try to have a fair amount of chicken soup in my freezer. The soup is perfect for a week night that you don’t have much time to prepare dinner. But also, it’s great to have in case you catch a cold or flu.
This soup is super easy to make, it uses my Homemade Chicken Stock that I make in my Instant Pot, you can get the recipe here. It also uses shredded chicken from my Easy Instant Pot “Roasted” Chicken.
Ingredients
8 cups chicken stock
2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (or make your own)
3 cups cauliflower rice
1 cup celery, chopped
1/2 cup carrots, chopped (optional)
Preparation
Add the chicken stock to a large pot over medium high heat and bring to a simmer.
Add in the carrots and celery and continue simmering for 10 minutes.
Add in the chicken and cauliflower rice and cook for another 8-10 minutes. Serve with a garnish of fresh parsley.
Note: The carrots are optional, so if you want to stay super low carb, you can certainly omit them.
You can use my Homemade Chicken Stock as the base for this soup!
You can also use my Easy Instant Pot “Roasted” Chicken shredded, in this soup…

Can the cauliflower rice be frozen? If so, how does it affect the cooking time?
Sure, and you won’t need to cook it as long. So instead of 8-10 minutes, you can add it in frozen and cook it for only about 4-5 minutes. I hope that helps!
Would it still be “Keto” if canned stewed tomatoes are added? I’ve always used them in my homemade chicken and rice soup
Absolutely, just be sure to add in the additional carbs to your macros. Will add more flavor as well 🙂
