Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
- 1 medium Onion, chopped
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 stalks Celery stalks, diced
- 1 medium Carrot, diced
- 8 cups Chicken broth
- 2 scoops Collagen peptides
- 2 leaves Bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon Thyme, dried
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 cups Spinach, fresh
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat avocado oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, diced celery, and diced carrot. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
Return the chicken thighs to the pot. Pour in the chicken broth and add the collagen peptides, bay leaves, and dried thyme.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Remove the chicken thighs from the pot and shred the meat, discarding the skin and bones.
Return the shredded chicken to the pot. Stir in the heavy cream and fresh spinach, cooking until the spinach is wilted, about 3 minutes.
Add the lemon juice and stir well. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Before serving, remove the bay leaves and sprinkle the soup with fresh parsley.
Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy your warm, keto-friendly collagen-rich chicken soup.
