What You Need to Make this Chicken and Broccoli Soup
Simple fresh ingredients make the best soups!
As a thickener, I used tapioca flour here but you can easily sub in arrowroot flour as either grain free option.
- ghee, avocado oil, or olive oil
- onion
- carrots
- celery stalks
- garlic
- Fresh rosemary, thyme and sage
- sea salt and black pepper
- arrowroot starch, or tapioca
- chicken bone broth or chicken broth
- full fat coconut milk, canned
- broccoli
- shredded cooked chicken (I used rotisserie chicken)
- Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
How to Make This Chicken and Broccoli Soup
Heat a dutch oven over medium heat and add the ghee or oil.
Add the onion, carrots and celery and cook, stirring occasionally for 2-3 minutes to soften. Add the garlic and herbs, the sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper.
Stir and cook another minute to blend flavors.
Whisk in the tapioca or arrowroot until bubbly, then stir whisk while pouring in the broth.
Bring to a boil to thicken, then add in the coconut milk and broccoli and cook a minute to soften the broccoli.
Add the chicken, lower the heat and simmer to heat through. Taste and season with sea salt and black pepper. Serve hot and enjoy!
You can either refrigerate or freeze leftover soup to enjoy later on – it saves well!
Keep in in the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to 4 days. You can freeze the soup for up to a month.
I hope you’re ready for an easy, filling, comforting soup that everyone will love!

I have not tried this recipe yet but I use a cauliflower “alfredo” in other soups to make them creamy. You basically blend steamed cauliflower, some bone broth, splash of non diary milk, garlic and salt until creamy. Stir into a soup. If you want an exact recipe, google “cauliflower alfredo sauce”.
