  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 950ml (4 cups) Chicken broth, reduced sodium (or bone broth)

How To Make Low Carb Keto Chicken Florentine Soup

  1. Melt the butter: In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant.
  2. Sauté the onions: Add the diced onions and Italian seasoning. Sauté for 7-10 minutes, until slightly browned and just starting to caramelize. For deeper flavor, cook longer.
  3. Add liquids and chicken: Pour in the chicken broth and cream, then add the shredded chicken and chopped artichoke hearts. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Simmer the soup: Increase the heat to high and bring the soup to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
  5. Add the spinach: Lower the heat to low, add the spinach, and stir until wilted. Adjust salt and pepper if needed.

Recipe Tips

  • Use freshly cooked or rotisserie chicken: Freshly shredded chicken adds the best flavor and texture. If using leftover chicken, make sure it’s not too dry.
  • Sauté onions until golden: Don’t rush this step! Letting the onions caramelize slightly adds a deeper, richer taste to the soup.
  • Add spinach at the end: Stir in the spinach just before serving to keep it fresh and vibrant. Overcooking will make it mushy.
  • Adjust thickness to your liking: If you want a thicker soup, let it simmer longer. For a thinner consistency, add more broth.
  • Season gradually: Start with a little salt and pepper, then adjust after the soup simmers to avoid over-seasoning.

How To Store and Reheat Leftovers?

  • Refrigerate: First, let the leftover soup cool to room temperature. Then, transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze: Let the soup cool completely, then pour it into freezer-safe containers, leaving some space for expansion. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating on the stove over low heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Reheat: Pour the soup into an oven-safe dish and cover with foil. Heat at 175°C (350°F) for about 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through until warmed through.
