How To Make This Creamy Carnivore Chicken Soup (Stovetop Method)
In a stockpot or 6-quart Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken, salt, pepper, optional spices, and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer uncovered for about 45 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Remove the chicken pieces with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a bowl. Using two forks, shred the chicken. Return the shredded chicken back into the pot.
Raise the heat to medium and stir in the heavy cream and softened cream cheese cubes. Stir continuously with a wooden spoon until the cream cheese fully melts and blends into the broth, creating a creamy base.

Crockpot Instructions
To make this recipe in a slow cooker, add the chopped raw chicken breasts, chicken broth, heavy cream, and spices to the crockpot.
Cook on high for 3 hours or on low for 5 to 6 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Add the softened cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir well until fully melted and combined.
There is no need to remove and shred the chicken when using a crockpot. The chicken will naturally fall apart as it cooks.
