One of my sister’s is a follower of the popular Keto Diet and is always trying new recipes and shares them with me when she finds a good one. Although, I don’t follow the keto diet, I enjoy a good recipe and also see the benefits of occasional restriction of carbs.
When she sent over this Queso Chicken Soup recipe I immediately put the ingredients on my grocery list. Crock pot recipes are super handy on busy days/evenings and the ingredients in this soup sounded like a delicious combination…and it was!
Whether you are a follower of the keto diet or not, this flavorful, low carb soup should be on your menu rotation, it will not disappoint!
