Are you looking for an easy tortilla soup recipe that is keto-friendly?
This delicious low-carb tortilla keto soup recipe is hearty, spicy, and perfect for any day of the week.
Pretty much it has everything you want in a bowl of tortilla soup. This is especially true if you love the heat of Jalapeno peppers.
If you are into spicy soups, this will definitely be your go-to low-carb soup recipe.
Without compromising delicious, rich flavor, this tortilla soup brings the heat like no other.
The aroma from those freshly ground spices will bring a whole new level of experience.
And while there is no actual tortilla in this soup, the flavors of the traditional Mexican tortilla soup is certainly there.
And you can always top it with crunchy keto chips like pork rinds.
The original way of making this soup starts with browning the chicken thighs in a saucepan, I skip all that.
Instead, I use rotisserie chicken and strip the carcass of meat.
It’s a quick way to replace any cooked chicken in the recipe, and it works perfectly for this soup.
I also like to note that since it’s a high-fat, low-carb recipe, it’s perfect for a keto diet and other low-carb diets.
But don’t hesitate to serve non-dieters too. It’s one recipe that sure pleases the whole crowd and has them asking for a second.
If you plan to store it for lunch the next day, I suggest doubling the recipe.
