I wanted a keto-friendly take on chicken noodle soup that was simple, filling, and easy to make. This Chicken Broc-a-Dilla Soup is a great alternative for anyone looking for a hearty, low-carb meal without the extra hassle. Instead of noodles, I used zero-carb tortillas for texture, and instead of a long list of ingredients, I kept it basic with broth, chicken, broccoli, and cheese.
Ingredients:
• 4 cups chicken bone broth
• 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
• 2 cups broccoli florets (chopped small)
• 2 zero-carb tortillas (cut into strips)
• 3 tbsp butter
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
• ½ cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack (avoid mozzarella, as it gets stringy)
Instructions:
1. Heat the broth – In a large pot, bring the bone broth to a simmer over medium heat.
2. Add seasonings and broccoli – Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chopped broccoli and let it cook for about 5 minutes until tender.
3. Add chicken – Stir in the shredded chicken and let it heat through for another 5 minutes.
4. Crisp or soften the tortillas – In a separate pan, lightly crisp the tortilla strips in butter, or stir them directly into the soup if you prefer a softer texture.
5. Melt in cheese – Stir in the shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack until fully melted.
6. Serve and enjoy – Ladle into bowls and dig in.
Highlights:
• Simple ingredients – No need for a long grocery list.
• Filling and satisfying – High in protein and healthy fats.
• Great alternative to chicken noodle soup – The tortillas add texture while keeping it low-carb.
