Salsa Verde Chicken Soup (Keto + Whole30)

chicken breast

ghee

garlic cloves,

4.5 oz can green chiles

chicken broth

16 oz jar salsa verde

yellow onion, chopped

cumin

chili powder

salt

pepper

lime, juiced

lime zest

oz dairy-free cream cheese (optional)*

lime juice

avocado slices

jalapeno slices

cilantro

Add everything into a 6qt Crockpot. Cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-7 hours.

Once cooked, remove chicken, shred and then return chicken to the Crockpot. 

Serve immediately with sliced avocado, cilantro, and jalapeno slices. Store in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Crockpot:

Cook your chicken as desired and shred. In a large pot or dutch oven over medium/high heat add the ghee. Once the ghee is hot, add the onion and garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Stir often.

Bring the saucepan down to low heat. Pour in chicken broth, green chiles, salsa verde, lime juice/zest, spices, and the dairy-free cream cheese in the pot, whisking until cream cheese has melted. Add in shredded chicken and stir. Allow to simmer for 20 minutes for optimal flavor.

Cook until the cream cheese has completely melted.

Stovetop:

Press the saute function on the Instant Pot, and once hot, add the ghee. Once the oil is hot, add the onion and garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Stir often. Press cancel to turn off the saute feature. Add the chicken breasts (whole), green chiles, salsa verde, chicken broth, lime juice/zest, and spices to the pot. Secure the lid, turn to seal, and set the pot to high-pressure cook for 5 minutes.

Carefully quick release the pressure. Open the lid and shred the chicken using 2 forks or tongs. It will shred easily.

Add in the dairy-free cream cheese and lime juice and stir until melted and incorporated into the soup. Turn the saute function back on if the cream cheese is not melting well.

Instant Pot:

Made this for dinner tonight using the slow cooker method, super easy - it came out delicious! Perfect "sweater weather" meal ;)

Delicious recipe! I substituted a can of coconut milk for the cream cheese and added some arrowroot to thicken it and made it in the instant pot. It took no time at all! This ones going into the regular rotation.

Delicious, super easy, and even better as leftovers the next day! I swapped raw-dairy butter and organic cream cheese and still just as good!

I just made this recipe and I cannot say enough about how delicious it is.  It is so full of flavor!  I love to put ingredients in a slow cooker and have dinner done when you get home.  I'm excited for the leftovers as flavors enrich overnight.  Thank you for this recipe.  No one should not hesitate to make this delicious soup.  I love the flavor and how creamy it is.  You wont be disappointed if you make this recipe!

Made this soup last night and it was a hit! My mom who is not Keto said she was adding this to her recipe list! Thank you so much for the amazing recipes!

I love cooler weather when the crockpot can be used in full force. Nothing like coming home to dinner. This soup will be on rotation this season.  Very tasty. The lime adds a surprise. Thanks for sharing your talents with us HLP! XXOO

I can’t stop sampling it. It’s so good! I used the Hernandez roasted salsa verde (medium heat) because I love spice. Amazing!
