Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 2 large carrots, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 6 cups chicken broth
• 3 cups cauliflower rice
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Begin by cutting the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

In a large pot over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the diced onion, celery, and carrots. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for an additional 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant.

Step 4

Add the cubed chicken to the pot, stirring occasionally, and cook until the chicken is no longer pink on the outside, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and add the bay leaf, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 6

Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the chicken to cook through.

Step 7

Stir in the cauliflower rice and simmer for an additional 5 minutes until the cauliflower is tender.

Step 8

Remove the bay leaf and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper to taste, if necessary.

Step 9

Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
