This Paleo Creamy Chicken Tomato Soup is the perfect easy dinner. Ready in 30 minutes, so delicious, and healthy. Whole30, gluten free, dairy free, and low FODMAP.
Low FODMAP Soup
I'm back with another low FODMAP recipe that is easy and delicious! One of the huge adjustments of this diet is no garlic or garlic powder! I was used to adding that to everything and without it some recipes taste kind of flat. Well, I discovered garlic infused oil is allowed and it's been a life saver! I've been using it for so many recipes to add that distinct flavor and it's working. I found some at a health food store and then I ordered more from Amazon.
Now about this soup- it is so easy to make and comes together quickly. It's made in one pan which is always nice for cleanup. I used a cast iron brasier, but a stock pot or dutch oven will work great as well. Using fire roasted canned tomatoes for this is the best because they have more flavor and don't taste as "canned".
I use chicken thighs for this, but chicken breasts will work as well. It would also be great without chicken and served as a side dish. Using meat makes it more of a meal for sure.
Dairy Free Soup
This soup is naturally gluten free, using coconut milk makes it dairy free and it also happens to be Whole30. But it is comforting, warm, and no one will guess it's "health" food. The combination of garlic, tomato, and basil is so perfect and satisfying. I know we are coming out of soup weather, but I think this is good enough to make even in the summer. Maybe with fresh tomatoes? That would be delicious!

Vanessa Woozley says
I love creamy tomato soup but I've never added chicken to it what a great idea.
Jessica DeMay says
Thanks, Vanessa! It's a great combination!
Nicole says
Do you cook the chicken first or just put it in raw?
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Nicole- the chicken goes in raw, then cooks while it's covered, removed, cut, then added back in. Hope that helps! You could also use precooked chicken to make it even faster.
