Keto Green Enchilada Soup is a rich and creamy soup. We prepare this soup with a combination of shredded chicken, green enchilada sauce, heavy cream, cheese, seasonings, and cream cheese to create a satisfying soup. This soup contains healthy fats with cream cheese and cheese, and proteins with chicken. This soup is gluten-free but contains lots of dairy, so we would use dairy-free products to prepare the soup for people who are dairy intolerant. We can serve this Keto Green Enchilada Soup along with keto tortilla chips, avocado slices, or cilantro. You can customize this soup and add the choice of cheese or meat you want. This soup contains just 3g net carbs, so we don’t have to worry about the carbs.
