Instant Pot King Ranch Chicken Soup

Keto Recipes > Keto Dinner Recipes

This spicy chicken soup is wonderfully hearty and so easy to create. Chicken, butter, and spices are simmered in the Instant Pot then thickened up with cream, xanthan gum, and cheese. If you don’t have an Instant Pot you can also cook in a slow cooker for 4-6 hours.

This soup smells amazing! I always get compliments from other people in the house when I create it. I think you’ll like this if you enjoy our King Ranch Chicken Casserole, but don’t have a lot of time to create the low-carb tortillas.

This is great served with sour cream, cilantro, and extra cheese!
