How to cook deliciously - Low-Carb Chicken and Vegetable Soup

1 . Stage

Heat oil in a 6-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs and sear, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

2 . Stage

Add carrots and celery to the pan. Reduce heat to medium and cook until softened, about 10 minutes. Add onions and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add chicken stock, water, green beans, riced cauliflower, broccoli, tomato sauce, soup base, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Add chicken thighs and simmer until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 30 to 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

3 . Stage

Remove chicken and shred meat. Place shredded chicken back in the soup and serve.
