Keto-Friendly Chicken and Garlic Soup

I am trying so hard here to keep suppers keto-friendly. People, I love soup. Here are my YUMMY Keto-Friendly Chicken and Garlic Soup recipe.

I love soup. Yes, I do! How about you? Do you love soup as much as I do? I highly doubt it. We eat it all year round without batting an eye. It could be the dog days of summer, and we could be sweating our bits and pieces off. Yet, I will have a pot of chili going!

Ingredients

1 onion, diced

minced garlic

3 peppers, chopped (I used red, yellow, and orange)

fresh mushrooms

chicken stock or chicken bouillon

Water

heavy cream

4 oz. cream cheese

1/2 c. sour cream

4 cans chicken

cheddar

butter

seasoning

Directions

I sauteed up my chopped onion, peppers, fresh mushrooms, seasoning, and minced garlic in butter. This would be an excellent place to add kale or chopped spinach, but I didn’t add it this time. Once that was done, I added the chicken and enough water to cover it. I also added chicken bouillon to the water as I had no stock.

Put in the instant pot and set on the “soup” function for about 10 minutes.

Once that is done, I do a quick release. Added the cream cheese, cheddar, sour cream, and heavy cream. Remember, never count your milk-based products before starting the pressurizing part of the instant pot. I stirred it well and seasoned it according to my taste buds!

Keto-Friendly Cheeseburger Casserole

Now, this Keto-Friendly Cheeseburger Casserole did not blow my dress up BUT I will make it again with some tweaks. I will post how I made it and how I will change it up in the future.

Note: I doubled this, so I made a HUGE pan of it because I have a larger than normal family, please adjust according to your family size! Also, this will freeze well. Use a layer of aluminum foil and then that press and seal stuff from Walmart. Then, for poops and giggles, add another layer of aluminum. Be sure and label and date.

You can take all the wrapping off and let it sit in the fridge to thaw. Once thawed, cook normally. You can also take all the wrapping off, add back a layer of aluminum foil and cook it at 250, covered, for several hours.

Ingredients

4 lbs hamburger (next time, I will use ground beef and sausage)

Bacon bits

4 all-beef hotdogs (I had one random pack in the freezer and it needed to be used)

onion

seasoning

minced garlic

1 package of frozen riced cauliflower

3 c. cheddar

2 T. mustard (use just 1 next time)

1/2 c. mayo (use a 1/4 c. next time)

1/2 c. ketchup (use a 1/4 c. next time)

Directions

Saute onion, garlic, meat, and seasoning. Drain if necessary. Add uncooked cauliflower rice and stir in. Next, add mustard, ketchup, and mayo stirring well. Then, add in about 2 c. cheddar.

Place in greased 13×9 dish. Top with remaining cheese.

Bake at 350 for about 25 minutes.
