A warming, protein- and iron-rich soup that’s budget friendly. Noodles are optional.
Ingredients
Basic Soup
- 3 lbs chicken gizzards
- 2 cups chicken broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Additions
- Fresh parsley or chives to garnish
- Keto or Carnivore noodles
- Other seasonings or vegetables (celery, onion)
Instructions
- Place all ingredients (except noodles, if using) into an Instant Pot, slow cooker, or large soup pot.
- Instant Pot: Lock the lid, set the valve to sealing, and use the Soup button or Manual for 40–60 minutes depending on gizzard size. Allow a natural release for 10 minutes.
- Slow cooker: Cook on Low for 8–10 hours.
- Stovetop: Simmer for 2–3 hours or until gizzards are very tender.
- When the gizzards are tender, add noodles if using and warm through.
- Garnish with fresh herbs.
- Ladle into bowls and enjoy.
Notes
Store leftovers in the refrigerator. The soup may set into a gel—that’s natural collagen. Thin with additional chicken broth or water when reheating if you prefer a looser broth.
