Low carb Winter warmer

~ kaydeesteed

With such a sudden snap in change of weather, my appetite has changed drastically. Sizzling bbq steaks are now off the menu as I try to find food that will warm my insides.

With being three weeks deep into my Competition Prep, I struggled to find any inspiration in my recipe books, that was 1. yummy       2. healthy      3.   low carb   and   4. belly warming.

With an allocated 150g of chicken breast and vege in my diet, I was able to come up with this Low carb chicken soup that ticked all the right boxes. With my customized ingredients ( and by that I mean.. I read every single label of Macro nutrient value on my food!!!) this bowl came in roughly at 4 Carbs in total for the overall meal. Being most of the Carbs came from the Veges.

This meal satisfied so many taste buds, and also can be apart of any Keto Diet. Made in bulk, this meal is a great family saver & ideal meal prep food. Enjoy.
