Here is an easy recipe for Keto Chicken Enchilada Soup. Perfect for the ketogenic diet, it’s made with heavy cream and cream cheese. This is a perfect weeknight dinner recipe or a great appetizer at a barbecue. If you’re new to your keto journey, this is one of the most delirious recipes.

This is a sponsored post for Boiron and PTPA, however, the opinions I have expressed are my own.

I love spicy food.  It started when I got pregnant, I couldn’t get enough of it.  The spicier the better!  Recently, I started the Keto diet and am trying some new things.  We’ve been hitting up barbecues lately celebrating the Holidays and they’ve been giving me some ideas on spicy food.  One thing I love but never see at a barbecue is soup.  You can count on chicken wings and spicy dips.

But I have never seen keto soups at barbecues. And who doesn’t like chicken enchiladas? 

Soup Can be an Appetizer

So, I thought maybe trying Keto chicken enchilada soup as an appetizer would be something fun. It’s great for a cold day.

The best thing about soup too is that you can freeze it for later and with my busy life, it helps to just grab something out of the freezer for dinner once in a while. You don’t need to be on a keto diet or even eat low carb, this soup is for everyone. It’s a big bowl of comfort food!

This is the best low carb chicken enchilada soup you will try, especially if you like Mexican food like me.

Can you Still Tolerate Spicy Food?

Your stomach might not be so happy.  Don’t be afraid of indigestion because I also have a backup plan. It’s called Acidil®*, a homeopathic alternative to antacids that helps alleviate the symptoms of indigestion and heartburn.* This “good-for-you” medicine helps my upset stomach and lately, the whole family has been using it!
