Prepare a quick and flavorful lunch with this easy Mexican chicken soup recipe. All you need is some cooked chicken, your preferred Keto salsa, chicken broth, cream cheese, and low carb fajita seasoning. This soup is ready in under 30 minutes and is excellent for meal prep.

Do you have to use rotisserie chicken for this Keto soup?

Using rotisserie chicken for 5 ingredient Keto recipes will save you time, components, and effort. It will also add a roasted flavor to your casserole. However, if you have some leftover chicken in the fridge, this recipe is a great way to use it up. If none of these options work for you, you can cook chicken from scratch.

Is salsa Keto?

Generally, salsa is a Keto-friendly food, especially if it is homemade. It is naturally low in carbs, making it perfect for this Low Carb recipe. Pay attention to nutrition labels, as many brands add unnecessary sugars and preservatives to their salsas, making them higher in carbs.

Is fajita seasoning Keto?

Many store-bought seasoning mixes are not Keto-friendly because they contain high-carb fillers like corn starch. Choose a brand with clean ingredients, or make your own mix.

Is this recipe suitable for meal prep?

This is one of the best 5 ingredient Keto lunch recipes because it allows you to cook a large batch without extra effort. You can double the recipe, serve some of it at lunch, then meal prep the rest. Prepare this Keto Mexican soup as per instructions, divide it into 6 containers, and store them in the fridge. When you're ready to eat, place one container in the microwave until heated through.

        I'm assuming this recipe calls for you to already have cooked your chicken.....

          It says rotisserie chicken in notes. Gives a great taste.

        Delicious. Even got the approval from the picky-eaters in my family. Used boneless chicken thighs and added a little sour cream to make it creamier.
