‘Grandma’s Cozy Bowl’—this soup is like a hug in a bowl, and it’s so filling, no one believes it’s low carb!

This low carb creamy chicken cabbage soup is a delightful fusion of comfort and health, perfect for those chilly Midwestern days when you crave something warm and nourishing. Cabbage, a staple in many European cuisines, brings a subtle sweetness and a satisfying crunch to this dish, while the creamy broth envelops tender chicken pieces in a velvety embrace. This soup is not only a testament to the versatility of cabbage but also a celebration of how simple ingredients can come together to create something truly special. It’s ideal for anyone looking to enjoy a hearty meal without the extra carbs.

This creamy chicken cabbage soup pairs beautifully with a simple green salad dressed in a light vinaigrette, which adds a refreshing contrast to the richness of the soup. For those who aren’t strictly low carb, a slice of crusty whole-grain bread or a warm, buttery biscuit can complement the meal perfectly. A glass of crisp white wine, such as a Sauvignon Blanc, can also enhance the flavors and make for a delightful dining experience.
