              Made this tonight; I added double the mushrooms and celery, half cup of Parmesan cheese, and chunks of bacon. Thought the soup had excellent flavor, just wish I had a keto saltine cracker or dinner roll option to go with it. Curious about the servings though, despite adding more celery and mushrooms, I'm not sure how the original recipe is only 4 servings. My family had 3 helpings and I would guess there are still 3-4 more left in the pot. Need something with more fats, though, to help with satiation. Regardless; 10/10, will make again.

                This recipe is a keeper. More soupy than a stew, but so delicious. I might add extra the mushrooms next time!

                    Exactly it's difficult like this causeyou can measure the chicken raw desperately but what about the other ingredients because now you don't know when you dish the sauce if you get enough fats and how much carbs you dishing atc

                    I just made this and it pretty much filled two 32 oz containers. I used 2 chicken breasts, so it close to 2x the amount in the recipe. Other than extra chicken, followed the recipe exactly.

                    when it is ready, put another dish on the scale pour the food in it and weight it. In this case I would divide the amount that the scale shows by 4 and whatever the number is, that is one portion

                    I'd love to see this in a dairy free option. Otherwise it sounds great!

                      Maybe use canned coconut cream and add curry and/or other Indian quisine seasonings?

                    Loved this soup a lot. I thought I would miss the carb element of rice or something but it doesn’t need it. I did put extra mushrooms just because I peraonally love mushrooms and it was perfect. A lot of flavor and very satisfying.
