Ingredients
Scale
Soup Base
- 1 lb chicken breast, cooked and shredded
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1 cup bell peppers, diced
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
Garnishes
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 avocado, diced
- Chopped cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large pot, add the cooked shredded chicken, chicken broth, diced tomatoes, diced bell peppers, cumin, and chili powder. Stir everything together thoroughly to combine the flavors.
- Simmer the Soup: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for 20 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the vegetables to soften.
- Serve with Garnishes: Ladle the soup into bowls. Top each serving with shredded cheddar cheese, diced avocado, and chopped cilantro for a creamy, fresh finish that enhances the keto-friendly meal.
Notes
- You can use rotisserie chicken to save time.
- Adjust the chili powder to make the soup more or less spicy according to your preference.
- For extra crunch, consider adding keto-friendly tortilla chips on top while serving.
- If preferred, substitute cheddar cheese with Monterey Jack or mozzarella.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
