What Makes This Low Carb Spicy Chicken Soup So Good
Let me tell you, this soup is a classic demonstration of why I will never be a famous blogger. Who in their right mind makes a soup from Rotel and Coconut milk? Or a chicken and kale soup with cinnamon and cloves?
Me. That’s who. In my defense, they are very tasty soups.
But absolutely NO ONE in the world is out on the internet searching for Rotel Coconut milk soup. Which is why I will never be a famous blogger.
Guess what? That’s okay with me. I like cooking and I like sharing recipes so I’m sharing this one.
I think you will really like this. It’s spiced, but not spicy. It’s creamy, but it’s dairy-free. It’s easy, but it tastes complex. It’s such a sweet contradiction.
Kinda like me! Well, the contradiction part anyway.

How Do You Make A Creamy Chicken Soup Without Dairy?
If you’re wondering how to make a creamy soup without dairy?
Coconut Milk. That’s how. But you need full-fat coconut milk from a can. Please do not use the coconut milk from a cardboard carton. It just doesn’t have the fat and creaminess that you will need.
That also makes it a great Ketogenic soup recipe because the coconut milk adds a lot of good fat to this low carb chicken soup.
How To Make Low Carb Spicy Chicken Soup
- Place onion, garlic, ginger, tomatoes and chilis, turmeric, broth base, and coconut milk in a blender, and mix until roughly puré the sauce.

What Makes This Chicken Soup Low Carb?
When it comes to making something low carb, it really just comes down to substituting or omitting the carb-rich ingredients all together. For this particular recipe, I omitted noodles and any high carb vegetables such as carrots. You could use a low carb noodle if you are really missing the noodles in the recipe, but I felt that it was still fantastic without them.

This is by far our favourite soup, Urvashi! We double the recipe, and use 1 can of mild Rotel and one can (12 oz) of chopped tomatoes. Can’t do much “heat” but love the taste! We were camping in Florida and couldn’t find Swiss chard. Substituted baby bok choy, and now won’t use anything else! We added carrots to up our veggies!
This is a meal in itself! Delicious!
