Chop, dump, and forget about it and in no time at all you'll have yourself a nice batch of this low carb, skinny chicken enchilada soup! 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. I love all things crock pot and instant pot (or what ever electric pressure cooker you have!), especially when they work with my health goals!

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.
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!

Can this be reheated since there is yogurt in it?
In Fine Taste says
I've never had a problem reheating it!

Beth says
I added a can of corn, an extra tomato I also used a half cup of brown sugar and
One TBS of adobe sauce & a spicy pepper to add heat - if you use that be careful a little goes a long way !
I also used 1.6 lbs of chicken , a couple sweet peppers
Everyone loved it and also added an option of rice - my husband loves it in rice !
Anna says
This was really good and easy too. I placed a large frozen chicken breast in pressure cooker with all the other ingredients except yogurt. Cooked 40 minutes since chx was frozen and so large. Turned out delicious.
Ari says
I haven’t tried it yet, it’s cooking now. My problem is that I’m counting calories right now and sticking to serving sizes. So, what does “Serving: 1g” mean???
In Fine Taste says
Hi Ari, I’ll have to correct the serving size. The nutrition facts listed are for 1/6th of the recipe, not 1 gram. Thanks for catching that!

Tara says
It says the calories are for “1gram” of soup… how many cups. Thanks 🙂
In Fine Taste says
About 1 1/2 cups of soup is a serving.

Bethany says
Amazing! I added in about a half can of black beans to mine! 🙂

Jull says
Loved this recipe.. I used immersion blender to make the tomatoes and onions less chunky, and it was plenty thick so I really didn’t need to add the yogurt. But I did anyway! I did add corn and black beans after blending. You would never know this was a skinny recipe. Absolutely delicious!
admin says
That sounds like a great idea! I may have to try blending it next time I make it. The one thing I love about adding the yogurt is it adds a ton of protein plus a creamy flavor 🙂
