    Low Carb Chicken Taco Soup

    It’s cold outside and we are turning to comforting instant pot soups to help keep us warm. We are loving our Instant Pot and recently converted a family favorite recipe for chicken taco soup into a keto chicken taco soup recipe.

    This low carb chicken taco soup recipe is hands-down one of the easiest, and most filling soups we’ve made. It’s the perfect keto soup recipe.

    Don't fret if you don't have an instant pot, I've provided stove top instructions too.

    Super simple to throw together, ready in less than and hour, and almost mess-free, you are going to love this instant pot chicken soup.

    It’s super healthy and flavorful. Add your favorite toppings and make it exactly the way that you want.

    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.

      One cup of chicken broth? Is that a typo?

        1 cup is correct. The crushed tomatoes and chicken release liquid as it cooks 🙂
