I am obsessed with chicken tortilla soup from Max and Erma's. This crock pot low-carb chicken tortilla soup is creamy and hearty and will not leave you craving. #Keto #LowCarb
1cupheavy whipping creamhalf and half is fine if not on keto
1cuplow-carb salsa
2teaspoonsadobo seasoning
1teaspoonsalt
2cupschicken broth
1tablespoonxanthan gum cornstarch could be used too
8ouncescolby or colby-jack cheese, shredded
8ouncespepper jack cheese, shredded
3low-carb whole wheat tortillas
2tablespoonsbutter
Instructions
Place the chicken, cream, salsa, adobo seasoning and salt in the crock pot. Cook on low for 4 hours or chicken is completely cooked.
Shred or chop the chicken. Then add the chicken back to the crock pot.
Pour in the chicken broth and half of each of the cheeses.
For a thicker soup add one tablespoon of xanthan gum as well.
Cook on low for one more hour or until cheese is melted.
While the soup is cooking, make the tortilla strips by cutting the shells into strips. Dredge through butter and place on a pan and bake on 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Do not burn.
Serve the soup with the remaining shredded cheeses and tortilla strips.
