Low Carb Chicken Soup

We are always looking for a warm soothing bowl of chicken soup. This Low Carb Chicken Soup recipe is one of my favorites and so easy to prepare. This soup gets a makeover with a taste of ginger, not your traditional flavor which is expected when we are talking chicken soup.

For the last 6 weeks I have worked very hard to lose my extra weight and this Low Carb Chicken Soup was one of my life savers through the weight loss process. I made the soup in individual servings so I knew the carb count and the calorie count. Yes, I did count calories also because eating low carb can be very high in calories and I was determined to get this extra 15 pounds off. This low carb chicken soup has an amazing flavor with the touch of ginger a little kick of pepper. Hmmmm! I love it. I just put them in individual bowls in the fridge and when I was ready to eat the soup it was ready to go.
