Low carb chicken soup made in the instant pot gives you all the flavours of a good soup without the hours of standing over the stove watching over a boiling pot.

The fall and winter season is the perfect time for instant pot chicken soup and this low carb version will keep you warm and toasty all season long. Alternatively you can let it sit in the slow cooker all day or make this Low Carb French Onion Soup recipe.

  • Keto Instant Pot Rotisserie Chicken Soup

🥘 Ingredients Used for this keto recipe

Made with leftover rotisserie chicken carcass this keto soup is first made into a chicken stock and then simply adding a few vegetables to make the soup.

  • Rotisserie Chicken Carcass: we all love grabbing a rotisserie chicken in a pinch from the grocery store. Save that carcass in a freezer bag until you are ready to make this recipe.
  • Garlic: flavours from two cloves resting on top of the carcass while pressure cooking will help release it's sweet and nutty flavours into the chicken stock
  • Carrots, Celery and Onion: to sweeten and deepen the flavours of the soup
  • Bay Leaf: giving the soup a slightly minty flavour with hints of black pepper and christmas tree pine.

👨🏻‍🍳 Steps to make this low carb soup

How to make low carb chicken soup

STEP 1: Place the trivet into the instant pot and then place a leftover chicken carcass (fresh or frozen) onto the trivet with the celery leaves and 2 peeled cloves of garlic. Add 6 cups of water. Place the lid on and set to venting. Pressure cook on high for 1 hour.

👨🏻‍🍳 Substitutions and Variations

The different ingredients that can be used in a keto chicken soup are endless. Here are some of the different ways this soup can me made.

  • Chicken - don't have a chicken carcass but have leftover chicken thighs or boneless skinless chicken in the fridge? Use them instead of the carcass just the same.
  • Slow Cooker - have more time and want to slow cook instead? Slow cook the carcass for 8 hours on low instead of pressure cooking it for an hour. Then follow the same steps.
  • Vegetables - add more of your favourite veggies like cauliflower or broccoli bites to this recipe to make it a more heartier soup.
  • Salt: I do not add very much salt to this soup so feel free to add more salt as needed.

Another great low carb soup recipe is this Butternut Squash Soup with curry and chipotle powder.

♨️ Top tips and serving suggestions

Top Tip: after removing the carcass from the instant pot, allow it cool and then use your hands to remove all the leftover meat from the carcass. This is the only way to get all the last pieces of meat. You can also feel and remove any smaller bones that you don't want in the soup. Pressure cooking may have made most of the bones really soft, so take extra time to remove all of them while removing the meat.

  • Serving: enjoy the soup with your favourite low carb crackers or a side sandwich like this Air Fryer Grilled Cheese Sandwich.
  • Storage: store the soup in mason jars in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze in plastic air tight containers in the fridge for up to 3 months. Allow to thaw the night before and warm up in the microwave.

🥣 Equipment used to make

I do love my Instant Pot and the more I use it, the more I want to use it again. However, this soup can be made using various types of pressure cookers or slow cookers.

💭 Frequently asked questions

What else can I add to this soup to give it more flavour?

Dry parsley or chives, onion powder or more garlic powder will add more flavour.

Can I put raw uncooked chicken in soup?

I am not a fan of cooking raw chicken in soup but it is perfectly fine if you wish to use raw chicken. Just make sure it is cooked long enough which 1 hour in the pressure cook would be good.

Is chicken stock and chicken broth the same?

Chicken stock is made from bones and chicken broth is made mostly from chicken meat and vegetables.

      I've never made this recipe on the stove. However, if I did I would simply place all ingredients in a pot and simmer for 3 hours.

    A question about your chicken soup. As written, your recipe (and/or instructions) does not include any liquid during the initial one hour pressure cook. Since I never see the 6 cups of water mentioned in the instructions, I assume they go in for the initial 1 hour with the carcass, celery leaves, and garlic.

      Yes, good catch, you are correct. Thanks for letting me know it was missing. I have updated the recipe post to reflect this.
