Make a satisfying, low-carb chicken tortilla soup that fits your ketogenic diet. This recipe uses simple ingredients and pork rinds for crunch instead of high-carb tortillas.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained (check label for low sugar content)
  • 1 (4 ounce) can green chiles, undrained
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese, for topping
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or full-fat Greek yogurt, for topping
  • 1 avocado, sliced or diced, for topping
  • 1 cup pork rinds, crushed (for ‘tortilla’ crunch)
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the chicken pieces to the pot. Cook until lightly browned on all sides.
  4. Stir in the diced tomatoes, green chiles, chicken broth, cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  5. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  6. Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the soup.
  7. Taste the soup and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
  8. Ladle the Keto Chicken Tortilla Soup into bowls.
  9. Top each serving generously with shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, avocado slices, and a sprinkle of crushed pork rinds and fresh cilantro.

Notes

  • For the best keto crunch, crush the pork rinds just before serving so they stay crisp.
  • You can substitute shredded rotisserie chicken for quicker preparation.
  • If you prefer a spicier soup, add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper with the other spices.
