This creamy Chicken Cauliflower Soup is loaded with vegetables, shredded chicken, and a coconut milk broth for a healthy, comforting meal that’s both dairy-free and gluten-free.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and diced
  • ½ head cauliflower, chopped into florets or bite-size pieces
  • 3 celery ribs, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 14 oz canned lite coconut milk
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
  • ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (from ½ small lemon)
  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano, or more to taste
  • ¼ cup fresh herbs (parsley, tarragon, and/or oregano), chopped

Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a 3-quart pot and sauté the diced onion and carrots for 5 minutes.

2. Add the cauliflower florets, sliced celery, and minced garlic. Stir and sauté for 2 more minutes.

3. Add the coconut milk, chicken broth, shredded chicken, salt, and pepper. Stir and bring to a boil.

4. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the carrots and cauliflower are tender.

5. Remove from heat. Stir in the lemon juice, dried oregano, and chopped fresh herbs.

6. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt if needed. Serve hot.

Notes

For a thicker broth, stir in a slurry of 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2–3 tablespoons water or make a roux with extra olive oil and flour.

Additions like diced potatoes, white beans, peas, corn, or noodles make great enhancements.

If avoiding coconut milk, substitute with more broth, oat milk, or a splash of heavy cream.

This soup is excellent with crusty bread or focaccia for dipping.
