Tips for the Best Keto Chicken Soup:
- Bone Broth is Key: Using a high-quality bone broth like Bare Bones Rosemary Lemon Bone Broth elevates the flavor and provides added health benefits.

- Adjust Seasoning to Taste: Feel free to add more salt, pepper, or paprika to suit your preferences.
- Rotisserie Chicken Shortcut: Using pre-cooked rotisserie chicken saves time and effort.
Is this soup freezable?
While it’s best enjoyed fresh, you can freeze leftovers for up to 2 months. Be aware that the texture may change slightly upon thawing.
Can I add vegetables?
Absolutely! Keto-friendly options include cauliflower, broccoli, or spinach. Add them during the last few minutes of simmering.
What if I don’t have cream cheese?
While cream cheese adds a unique creaminess, you can substitute it with a similar amount of mascarpone cheese or full-fat sour cream.
What kind of chicken should I use?
Rotisserie chicken is the quickest and easiest option, but you can also use leftover cooked chicken or poach chicken breasts specifically for this soup.
Enjoy this comforting and delicious Keto Chicken Soup – it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser!
