Boullion is going to have less fat and protein than home made bone broth. Also make sure and avoid boullion with sugar, msg or other added sugars and starches. This recipe as written makes 8 servings. If you have more than 1 serving, pay attention to how that affects the carb count.
Really confused, couldn't find a helpful definition of what a broth is. Not sure if the USA has the same one as in the UK. Please advise. Thanks!
Hi Sandra! You can make your own broth by boiling chicken bones! You can use chicken bones in this recipe and the vegetables are optional.

You would want approximately 4-6 ounces of chicken per serving. That is about 115 - 170g.
Unfortunately that is going to vary based on how much your soup cooked down. You can use the drop down menu to change the number of servings if you don't need all 8. That may make it easier to portion out.
Yes, and if you cook from the Recipes tab of the meal plan, that is how it will display. You have clicked through from the meal plan to the public version of the recipe. You can cook from the Recipes tab of the meal plan or if you do click through, you can adjust the number of servings.
There is also fat in the bone broth if you make your own, and also from the chicken since you are using dark and white meat.
If you are getting fewer calories from your calculations, you may not be using home made bone broth, but store bought stock. A home made broth will have more collagen and gelatin, which adds protein and fat, and therefore calories.
You can definitely choose to do that. This is designed to be a recipe that is quick to prepare, which is why it calls for the rotisserie chicken and already made bone broth. If you have longer to prepare, you can boil the chicken and use the broth. Bone broth will have more electrolytes though, as well as the collagen and gelatin from the bones.
Also no direction on serving size. Haven’t tasted it yet but don’t think it’s worth work
The recipe is prepared with 4 oz of butter and has about 40 grams of fat per serving. For a serving, divided your finished soup by the number of servings you set the recipe. I hope you enjoy it.
Generally speaking you can choose any of our green circle keto meals.
Yes, a larger amount of carrots would be high carb. The carb count for a whole serving of this soup is only 4g net carbs.
But you can use low carb noodles, such as shirataki noodles.
You can even make shirataki noodles yourself.
All it takes is glucomannan, ice cold water, calcium hydroxide, a whisker and a noodle press.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for taking the time to let us know.
