Ground chicken soup ingredients
You will need simple ingredients to make this delicious soup. However, it turns out to be so flavorful.
- Ground chicken ( browned for additional flavor).
- Quartered potatoes to create a chunky soup. You can replace potatoes with cauliflower for a low carb version.
- Mushrooms make this soup even more delicious and comforting.
- Celery, onion and garlic provide incredible flavors.
- Heavy cream adds richness to the broth / stock. Alternatively you can use evaporated milk or half and half.
- Spinach provides texture. You can replace it with kale or leave it out.
- Corn starch helps to thicken the soup. You can also smash a few potatoes instead of adding corn starch. Mix corn starch with cream using a wire whisk before adding to the soup.
- Seasoning ( cumin, black pepper, paprika..) provides a little something extra.
how to make ground chicken soup
Start by sautéing onion and garlic. Once it is done, add the ground chicken. Break it with the tip of your wooden spoon, season and brown.
When it is browned, add mushrooms, celery, potatoes, chicken stock and bay leaves. Season the soup with salt and pepper. Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes or until potatoes are tender. To thicken the sauce, mix together cream and corn starch and pour into the soup. Bring to a boil and allow soup to thicken. Add baby spinach, cover with the lid and remove from the heat. Allow to stand for a few minutes for spinach to wilt. The soup is ready!
Crock Pot Chicken Ground Soup
You can make this soup in crock pot too. Saute onion and garlic on the stove, and then brown the ground chicken before adding to crock pot. Put all the ingredients into the crock pot except heavy cream, corn starch and spinach. Cook for 3 hours “HIGH” or 4 hours “LOW”. Add cream +corn starch mixture 30 minutes before cooking time will be over. Once the soup thickened, add spinach and allow it to wilt.

Made this without the cream or thickener but put about a cup of potatoes in a blender and added back to the pot. Perfect and delicious. I will be making this again!
chefjar says
Hey Alice! That's a clever way to thicken your soup! Using blended potatoes is a great technique to achieve a creamy texture without the extra calories from cream. And thanks for sharing your experience!
Kim B. says
Loved this! Easy to make & I had ingredients on hand. I added 3/4 cup of rice and an extra cup of chicken stock only because my son enjoys rice with his naan bread (great suggestion for the side, by the way!) I will make this again. It looks appetizing in the bowl - wish I had taken a pic!
chefjar says
Hey Kim! I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed this chicken soup recipe and that it was easy to make! Adding rice and extra chicken stock sounds like a wonderful adaptation, especially since your son enjoys rice with naan bread. And thanks for sharing your experience!
PK Oliver says
Outstanding soup! I chose to add the evap milk - perfect. I also used instant potatoes to thicken, along with the corn starch. Added kale. The garlic bread was amazing with it, as you mentioned. Really, one of the BEST soup recipes we've ever had. Definitely adding it to our dinner rotation. TY!
