Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 medium onion, diced

  • 2 carrots, peeled and diced

  • 2 celery stalks, diced

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 3 cups cauliflower florets (or 2 medium potatoes, cubed)

  • 1 cup frozen peas

  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk

  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme

  • 1 bay leaf

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Optional: 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

  • Optional garnish: fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté onions, carrots, and celery for 5–7 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute.

  • Add chicken breasts, broth, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook for 15–20 minutes.

  • Remove chicken and shred. Add cauliflower (or potatoes) and simmer until tender, about 8 minutes.

  • Blend part of the soup with an immersion blender for creaminess.

  • Return shredded chicken to pot. Stir in peas and almond milk. Simmer 5 more minutes.

  • Remove from heat and stir in Greek yogurt, if using. Adjust seasoning. Serve hot with parsley.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken for faster prep.

  • Substitute potatoes for cauliflower for a more traditional texture.

  • Can be frozen up to 3 months in airtight containers.
