Keto Creamy Chicken Fajita Soup (Slow Cooker)

February 13, 2021Laura

Soups are a favorite in my house! I have so many soup recipes here on the blog, but still love to create delicious new ones! Some blog favorites include: Keto Taco Soup, Stuffed Pepper Soup and my Low Carb Tomato Soup, just to name a few. I threw this Keto Fajita Soup together one weekend and it turned out great. I needed to make a couple of tweaks, so I remade it the following week to have for lunch meal prep. It turned out perfect! 

I love my slow cooker, especially for soups, so that’s what I made it in this time. I’m going to try it in the Instant Pot soon and will add those directions to the recipe card when I do. Ingredient wise, you will need: an onion, bell peppers (I used a red and a green), diced tomatoes & green chilies, salsa, chicken broth, seasonings, minced garlic, chicken breast and cream cheese. I used my handy chopper to chop the veggies (linked in my Amazon favorites below), threw everything in the slow cooker (except the cream cheese) and let it cook for a few hours. 

When it was finished cooking, I shredded the chicken and whisked in the cream cheese. It turned out so flavorful and had the perfect amount of heat! If you don’t like spicy soups, you can replace the diced tomatoes and green chiles with regular diced tomatoes. There are so many garnish options for this soup. I used shredded cheese, mini bell pepper slices and jalapenos. I also added a dollop of sour cream after I took the photos. You could garnish it with chopped green onions, tomatoes, cilantro and avocado as well. This soup was a winner and will be one I make on a monthly basis from now on.

Be sure to follow me on Instagram and Pinterest for more low carb meal ideas. If you make this or any of my recipes, I would love it if you tagged me on Instagram so I can see your creations!

I used my homemade taco seasoning recipe for this soup. The ingredients are clean and it’s way better than the store bought packets.
