Chicken Soup with Butternut Squash, Potatoes and Cauliflower (Paleo, Whole30)
Chicken Soup with Butternut Squash, Potatoes and Cauliflower recipe. A no noodle Paleo, Whole30 and Gluten-free chicken soup filled with carrots, butternut squash, potatoes and cauliflower.
My husband and I weren’t feeling well a few weeks ago so I made this homemade Chicken Soup with Butternut Squash, Potatoes and Cauliflower and it really helped us feel better.
It’s basically a no noodle Paleo, Whole30 and Gluten-free chicken soup filled with carrots, butternut squash, potatoes and cauliflower and seasoned with rosemary, thyme, oregano, turmeric and fresh parsley.
This Chicken Soup with Butternut Squash, Potatoes and Cauliflower is a delicious fresh tasting soup with lots of nutrition and protein to help your body power through a cold.
It’s also just super yummy and perfect for a Fall or Winter night.
I like eating chicken soup on the regular so I would eat this even if I wasn’t sick. I also would eat this during any season.
Ingredients needed to make this Chicken Soup with Butternut Squash, Potatoes and Cauliflower:
- olive oil
- onion
- garlic
- leeks
- chicken
- rosemary
- dried thyme
- dried oregano
- black pepper
- salt
- ground turmeric
- chicken stock
- carrots
- butternut squash
- potatoes
- cauliflower
- fresh parsley
How to make this chicken soup with butternut squash recipe:
To make this soup, start off by cooking the garlic, onion and leeks together in a pan. Then add bite sized pieces of chicken and LOTS of seasoning to the pan to flavor the chicken while it browns.
I added rosemary, thyme, oregano, black pepper, salt, and turmeric to the chicken while it was cooking.
I love this flavor combo because it really enhances the chicken soup flavor. Pluuuuus the turmeric adds a nice yellow color to the soup as a whole.
Then, add the chicken broth to the pan.
Note: If you want to add even more protein to your soup, I highly suggest using bone broth.
I love bone broth in soups, because it helps promote a healthy gut. The collagen and amino acid in the bone broth helps restore and heal your gut.
Once the soup is filled with liquid, add all the veggies!( carrots, butternut squash, potatoes, and cauliflower)
You let everything cook until the potatoes and butternut squash are fork tender.
I love making chicken soup without any noodles inside. I find that potatoes and carrots are really satisfying for me and fill me up just as well.
Cauliflower also tastes amazing when it is cooked in bone broth or chicken broth. It soaks in all that great flavor!

This sounds really tasty. Chicken and squash is a great combo. And I love the look of all that veg in the golden broth.
Oh yum, what a hearty soup, perfect for the winter! I’m not really a big cauliflower fan because it doesn’t have any flavor. But I think with all the seasonings, and combined with the other vegetables, it would be really good

It’s finally starting to feel like fall in New Orleans and I’ve had my heart set on making my favorite seasonal dishes this past week. I love making soup during the weekend and cuddling up with a good book. Nothing says healthy comfort food like a warm dish to smell up the house!
