Besides how delicious this soup is, you guys are going to love how easy it is to prepare! 5 minutes of chopping vegetables and dumping things into your crockpot or instant pot and you’re done!

This soup is a regular in my dinner rotation even in the summer time, or should I say especially in the summer time because it means I’m not standing over a hot stove and I don’t have to turn my oven on.

Make This Recipe Even Easier

This recipe is so simple and I love that I can take chicken straight from my freezer and put it straight into the slow cooker or instant pot. Now, in case this recipe wasn't easy enough, you can make it even easier, you can try skipping the diced tomatoes and swap it for canned diced tomatoes or even a can of Rotel!

Or if you want to stretch this recipe a little farther you can add in extra chopped vegetables (diced bell pepper would be great in this!) or a drained and rinsed can of black beans and corn. This will add extra protein and nutrients! Just know that this will change the carb and calorie count from what is shown below.

For this recipe you'll need either an Instant Pot or a Crock Pot! If you don't have one already they are kitchen essentials!

             

This soup is low in calories, fats, and carbs while also being super high in protein! I mean c’mon, 156 calories per serving, are you kidding me?!

That leaves plenty of room for lots of cheese and avocado on top! It’s perfect for those of you watching your carbs, following a low carb or keto diet, or even you guys who are just want a quick and easy dinner recipe!

Enjoy!
