Low Carb Creamy Chicken Enchilada Soup

Creamy Chicken Enchilada Soup takes all the flavor and cheesiness you expect from enchiladas and turns them into a quick and easy bowl of low carb awesome. Plus, it’s keto friendly!

Chicken breast is my go to protein because it’s easy to throw in the oven, shred and add to the soup. If you’re in a hurry use leftover chicken or a store bought rotisserie.

Apple cider vinegar is added to boost the acidity of this recipe since there’s no tomato sauce. It adds a brilliant tang.

Caldo de tomate helps to boost the tomato flavor without adding too many carbs, though tomato powder could be used as well. Just watch the carb count for either of these products and add salt to taste if needed.

Sour cream and mozzarella with a green onion garnish is a great topping combination. It’s not too much, and boosts the enchilada experience. If, however, you’re looking for healthy fats to enhance the recipe, avocado is the way to go.
