A creamy twist on classic chicken soup using cottage cheese for a light and protein-rich bowl that’s perfect for any season.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or cubed
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups cottage cheese (full fat recommended)
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 small carrot, diced
  • 1 small celery stalk, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1–2 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • Fresh herbs (parsley, dill, or thyme)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Lemon juice, to finish

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion, carrot, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5–7 minutes.
  2. Add garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
  3. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add chicken and simmer for 5–10 minutes.
  4. Blend cottage cheese until smooth (using an immersion blender or countertop blender). Stir the blended cottage cheese into the pot. Heat gently — do not boil hard.
  5. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Stir in herbs. Serve hot.

Notes

For a dairy-free option, replace cottage cheese with silken tofu blended until smooth. To control salt, use low-sodium broth.
