Keto Chicken Taco Soup

Depending on the taco seasoning you use, this keto chicken taco soup can get rather spicy. My husband and I like it spicy, but our girls don’t. I usually use this homemade taco seasoning (it’s pretty mild) and then top our soup with jalapenos for an extra kick.

We occasionally throw some avocado on top for some extra healthy fats. A squeeze of lemon on top really helps pull all the flavors together in this keto chicken taco soup. If you don’t like spicy foods you can cut the amount called for by half.

You can use chicken breast in this recipe instead of chicken thigh meat but we love the extra fat and flavor that the chicken thigh meat adds. Fresh and frozen chicken both work, and the time stays the same. You can always throw in some cauliflower rice for an extra filling variation.

What size is your instant pot?

We have a 6 quart, Ultra Instant Pot. You can make this keto chicken taco soup in any size instant pot.
