Paleo Crockpot Chicken Soup Recipe
I’ve shared several of my favorite paleo soup recipes on the blog in the past. Have you had a chance to try this Paleo seafood soup yet?
Or, this savory Paleo pumpkin soup is popular around the holidays. You could also make it with butternut squash if you prefer.
I’ve been working on a Paleo chicken soup recipe – slow cooker style – since the last thing I want to do when I’m not feeling great is to spend tons of time in the kitchen. It seems as though sickness has invaded our home.
We are all sniffling, sneezing, coughing, or otherwise not feeling that fantastic. I really like home remedies for when we aren’t feeling well.
A sore throat gets tea with lemon and honey. A cold gets chicken noodle soup – or it used to. Since my daughter is gluten intolerant, noodles aren’t a good choice unless they are gluten-free.
Since I’m following the Paleo diet, even gluten-free noodles and rice are out of the picture.
Is this Whole30 and Keto?
Yes, this recipe is suitable for both the Whole30 and Keto diets. It works well for any low carb or low calorie diet plan like Weight Watchers.
I try very hard to buy local, organic foods to use when I cook. I like supporting our local economy and I like knowing that the foods we eat really are safe to eat.
That said, I cannot always find everything I want local or organic. Vermont has a very short growing season and limited options for organic food. When I cannot buy local organic, I choose organic.
If I cannot find local or organic, I try to find all-natural, scrub the heavens out of it or substitute another ingredient. Do the best you can with the options you have.
I really like crackers with my soup. But, traditional crackers don’t work with the Paleo diet. Thankfully there are Paleo crackers that do. These crackers are Paleo friendly and really good!
How to make a slow cooker chicken soup
Really, it’s quite simple to turn almost any chicken noodle soup into something that’s suitable for the Paleo diet. You just need to remove any of the grains or starches and dairy products.
What you’re left with is generally chicken and vegetables. Provided you skip things that are carb-heavy like potatoes and corn, you should be all set.
If you want a keto chicken soup recipe, it’s about the same thing. Avoid carbs and processed foods. Start with fresh, minimally processed ingredients.
Can I have chicken broth on Paleo or keto?
You definitely can. For the healthiest option, look for a chicken bone broth rather than a traditional chicken stock or broth when you make this Paleo Crockpot chicken soup.

Just popping over from How To Get Organized At Home and wanted to say thank you for sharing, I don’t eat a paleo diet but this looks delicious. I must use my slow cooker for soups. Thanks again for sharing:)
Glad to share, Sharon. Thanks for stopping by!
This is perfect for us this week. Thank you for the post.
I am trying to use our slow cooker even more this year, and chicken soup sounds good. Especially since everyone in the house has either had a bug, a cold, or both in the past week. Those pearl onions remind me of my Great Gram – she always had my Gram make her boiled onions for Thanksgiving. (Random, I know – sorry! lol)
I’m a firm believer in chicken soup when you’re sick. I love pearl onions too but never tried them boiled.
I love slow cooker recipes and chicken soup is my favorite!
Mine too and it was really easy!
I’m so obsessed with all of these slow cooker recipes sprouting up. I’m not on the paleo diet but I wouldn’t be oposed to adding these ingredients in addition to my noodles.
The combination is really delicious!
This paleo recipe looks so good and easy! I’ve never used my crockpot to make soup before but with the cold weather, it sounds amazing!
Thanks, Shell. It was really easy this way.
I don’t do Paleo but I’d try this soup. It sounds like a great recipe for a perfect day.
It really was a great meal!
Mmm, this looks SOO good! I’ve never added spinach to chicken soup, but that’s a great way to up the flavor and the nutrition. 🙂 Thanks so much for sharing, Ellen, and for linking up with Nomday Monday. I hope you have a blessed day!
Glad to! Thanks for the linky!
Yummy! A warm bowl of soup sounds perfect right now. Thanks for the recipe!
Glad to share, Janel!
That looks really good! We may have to try it sometime.
Thanks, Paige! Hope you do!
Pearl onions are such a great way to add onion flavor into a dish without having such a harsh onion smell (plus no crying while dicing!) I’m going to have to try this sometime.
I agree. I hate cutting onions!
I bet this will fight our sickies away! Right now I am sitting at home trying to make sure my temp doesn’t rise anymore and my three kids are here too. All sick. Thanks for this recipe.
Oh no. I hope you all feel better soon!
My husband is considering moving to Paleo and would love this. We’ll have to try it soon – thanks!
Let me know how you like it!
Oh it looks fantastic. I love snuggling up with a great movie and some great food.
Thanks, Debi! It’s a great day for soup & a movie.
Slow cooker soups are always welcome around here. Anytime I can have a warm, satisfying meal without too much prep, I’m game! Netflix is the only form of television we have these days, and pairing that with a warm soup on a cold day is a great dinner idea.
Totally agree. With this cold, all I want is a cup of soup, a warm blanket and a movie.
Chicken soup is the best when you’re sick. Looks delicious, Ellen. Pinned. And Daddy Daycare is such a fun movie; it’s been awhile since we watched that; I bet my boys would really like that one. Will have to add to our movie list.
Thanks, Mel! That movie is a big hit for us here!
you had me at “slow cooker” and soup
dinner? done.
LOL same here. Quick & easy.
My dad is a big chicken noodle soup fan and since we’ve butchered our own chickens, we have it constantly in this household! Unfortunately though, he’s a gluten noodle fiend; I try to stay away from them the best I can and I think this would be a wonderful recipe to try 😀
Thank you so much for providing this alternative recipe!
My daughter likes the GF noodles but I prefer it without myself!
My husband has a bad cold right now (the kiddo and me have both kicked it.) We were JUST talking about how he needs chicken soup, and I have most of these ingredients. Definitely throwing this into our menu rotation this week.
Hope he feels better soon!
I love anything I can make in a slow cooker. This looks delicious.
I agree, Melissa! It really is good!
Looks so delicious! I am so excited you have so many Paleo recipes – you will be a great resource! Our family loves The Croods! It’s so funny!
Glad to help! Hope to share more soon!
That really looks delicious. I love that it’s not too many ingredients – keeping it healthy!
It’s really easy too!
Love soup!!! Take out the onions and I totally want this!
LOL you could do that, Jennifer!
I am not a soup person, but I do love each ingredient on its own. This is also easy to make and paleo which is great!
Thanks, Amy. They go together well!
What a yummy soup! And healthy! I pinned it so I can try it out myself.
Thanks, Joanna. Let me know how you like it if you make it!
Chicken soup is always a winner. I make mine like this except for the pearl onions (And I love pearl onions. ) Definitely trying this out!
The pearl onions really make it taste amazing!
i just love homemade chicken soup!! it’s divine!
I agree! Especially on a cold day!
I love the look of your soup and I’m sure it’s pretty delicious as well. Chicken soup is always great when you’re sick. As for movies, daddy daycare is one of my favorites as well.
Thanks, Amanda! Great soup & great movie!
This sounds delicious. I’ll have to remember it with the cold days we have ahead of us.
Thanks, Felicia. It’s super cold here!
This soup looks delicious. It also has everything that I love inside of it! Not to mention it’s very healthy. Soup is my go to meal during those chilly nights that I just want to cuddle on the couch with my pups.
Same here, Jessica! Perfect for a cold winter day!
Hope you guys are feeling better. I love to use my slow cooker, soup looks delicious.
Thanks, Stacie. We are. I agree. My slow cooker is a life saver!
That recipe looks delicious! Especially on a cold winter day!
It was snowing here today & I definitely appreciated it!
This recipe looks clean and fresh. Homemade soup is a treat that families treasure and this one has a very nice appearance.
Thanks, Janeane! Everyone did enjoy it!
How do you like eating on the Paleo diet? Do you find yourself eating more at home instead of going out?
We almost never went out before so I am really not sure!
That really looks good and healthy. My kind of meal!
Thanks, Kim! It was!
I’ve been making more soups than usual this winter for some reason and this sounds like a great one to add to my line up!
It was and it is easy too!
Those pearl onions must make it taste so good! I love soup that cooks all day. So much more flavorful!
They really do & best of all, I didn’t have to chop onions!
My son has school off today for MLK and it is cold outside. This post is a good idea for tonight. . . homemade chicken soup and a Movie on Netflix (Which I just got this month) Maybe we will watch The Croods! FUN.
Sounds like the perfect day for soup & movies!
Paleo or not this soup looks amazing to me. Yum!
Thanks, Angela. It’s a great soup that everyone enjoyed!
Oh man! This looks so good!!!
Thanks, Mel! It was!
Yum! The chicken looks so juicy and wonderful! Your pictures make me want a bowl to warm me up on this chilly afternoon. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
Thanks, Glenda! it really was delicious!
This looks yummy! We are gluten free too so I’m always looking for healthy gluten free recipes!
Thanks, Cara! Can be hard to find sometimes!
There’s something super comforting about a bowl of soup in the wintertime. Sounds delicious, Ellen! You suggested some cute movies too.
I agree Liz! Soup on a cold winter day with a movie is perfect.
I hope you are feeling better. Sickness has invaded at our house too. I tore my pantry apart trying to find a can of chicken soup! I love homemade so much more though.
We’re all feeling better now thankfully. I hate being sick!
Love the ingredients in this recipe!! It looks like we are gonna get colder this week, so it might have to be on the menu for Wednesday or Thursday!! Thanks Ellen for another fabulous recipe!
Glad to share! We have some cold weather coming here too!
Looks so good. I will have to try it sometime. And I do wish I could snuggle up on the couch with a good movie.
That would be just perfect today! It’s snowing again!
we do a lot of movies and soup in the winter. Great way to spend a weekend!
I totally agree, Diane!
Looks yummmmmmmmmy!!!
Thank so much, Melissa! It was!
