Instant Pot Low Carb and Keto Chicken Soup

Instant Pot Low Carb and Keto Chicken Soup,  is a warm comforting soup filled with bits of tender chicken, vegetables, herbs, and delicious broth. This healthy dinner is super simple and fast, making it perfect for an easy weeknight meal. Chicken soup freezes well so it also works great as a quick make-ahead, meal prep recipe. 

Looking For An Easy Instant Pot Dinner That is Keto and Low Carb?

This chicken soup is the easiest recipe.  As you might know by now, I am all about simple recipes. You can make your own broth if you would like, but sometimes you’re in a hurry and need to use store-bought chicken stock. It’s totally okay, I do it a lot. Other than dicing the onion, carrots, and celery this recipe is quick and easy and requires very little effort.

As I have mentioned before, I am the only one on a ketogenic diet in my house and I love a recipe that everyone in my house will eat.  I do not like making multiple meals so anything I can do to avoid this is a winner in my recipe book!

I love that this recipe is easily adaptable to your needs and tastes. It doesn’t have to be keto or low carb. It can be low calorie and have pasta if you wish. Feel free to add more vegetables like zucchini curls in place of pasta, or use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts depending upon the fat content you are looking for. Try playing around with different herb combinations, adding in your favorites to taste.  You can even substitute the butter for ghee, or use a different oil, or a nonstick spray. The options are endless!

Try adding thyme instead of dill for a change.
Try a small squeeze of lemon and lemon thyme with some dill. It’s good!
