Keto Greek Lemon Chicken Soup

When it comes to Low-Carb High-Protein winter dinners, this Greek lemon chicken soup is the perfect choice. This soup combines fresh, vibrant flavors with the comforting warmth of chicken broth, making it a satisfying meal that fits perfectly into a Keto lifestyle. With a tangy lemon twist and a hearty base of chicken, vegetables, and baby spinach, it’s both nutritious and filling.

What should you serve with this soup with?

To complement the light yet flavorful Greek lemon chicken soup, serve it with a side of Keto-friendly vegetables such as grilled broccoli or cauliflower or a simple leafy green salad. For a heartier option, pair it with Keto bread or a slice of almond flour-based crackers. If you’re looking for additional protein, a side of grilled chicken or some avocado slices will make this meal even more satisfying.

How should you store leftovers from this recipe?

This soup stores wonderfully for future meals! After it cools, transfer the leftover soup to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the soup in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply thaw the soup in the fridge overnight and reheat on the stove over low heat, stirring occasionally.

Can this recipe be vegetarian?

Yes, this Greek soup can be made vegetarian by replacing the shredded rotisserie chicken with a plant-based protein such as tofu, or a mix of hearty vegetables like cauliflower or zucchini. For added flavor, you can use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth, ensuring the soup remains full of flavor while still being vegetarian-friendly.

    This soup is delicious! I use 4 c bone broth and 2 c of Better Bouillon. We ate half for lunch as written. I had a little extra chicken, so I added 2 more c of the bouillon, a bag of frozen garlic and herb riced cauliflower from Aldi and another handful of cut up spinach. I think the addition of cauliflower is going to compensate for the rice which is traditionally in this soup and I missed

      Super easy and delicious. I did 4 cups low sodium chicken broth and 2 cups bone broth. Topped off our bowls with some Parmesan. Husband loved it!

        Thank you for this recipe! It sounds very good but I will be making it minus all the salt. One serving has 96% of a daily allowance of sodium. Way too high. Gonna use chicken breast, shredded and low sodium chicken broth.

          Use low sodium broth. But even then where did the 96% come from?
