Could this be made using a cooked roasted chicken from the grocery store? I read the reviews and it sounds amazing! I'm on the lookout today to see how to use the roasted chicken I bought a couple of days ago. Thanks in advance for your help!!

Absolutely! Even with cooked chicken, there's chicken stock (flavor) so it shouldn't be any different 😊

How is a recipe that has I’ve 1000mg of sodium considered remotely healthy?
That’s 2/3 of a low sodium diet recommended daily allowance and half of the normal recommended daily allowance!

Dear Rob, you can skip the salt if you want to lower the sodium content, it's not that hard to make an adjustment. As for RDA, this is more complicated but one of the reasons is that you should actually eat more sodium when you go low-carb, especially in the first few weeks: Keto-Flu and Sufficient Intake of Electrolytes

This dish was amazing! Insanely easy and it really turned out delicious. Hubs and both kiddos (10 & 6) loved it too. Bonus points for that! I haven’t had great luck with IP chicken breast recipes so I was highly skeptical that I would be successful with this one, but I tried it anyway since all of the reviews were so positive. I’m so glad I did! I’ll definitely be sharing the recipe with my keto & non-keto friends alike. And I doubled the recipe so I can look forward to some pretty delish & super quick keto lunches this week. Thank you so, so much!

Just wanted to let you know that I've made this recipe 3 times last week! This is really delicious! My family loves this recipe. I do adjust just a bit by adding cream cheese, a little cream and cheese at the end and let it melt before serving into bowls.
Thank you!

My first instant pot meal and it turned out great! The whole family loved it. Served on top of rice with a side salad to 4 adults and we ended up with very little left over so do keep that in mind if you have a lot of people to feed.

I have all vinegars in my house but white wine.  Which would you sub, red wine, apple cider or rice?

Martina @ KetoDiet 6 years ago # Reply
1/17/2019 2:15:54 AM

Hi Jenni, any of these will be fine. I'd personally go for red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar.

Have you ever used frozen chicken in this recipe?  How would you alter the timing, liquid, etc?  Thanks, looks so yummy!!!

Martina @ KetoDiet 6 years ago # Reply
6/28/2018 2:04:12 PM

Hi Kate, I would still use defrosted because it cooks evenly. But if you use cubed frozen chicken (small pieces) thenI would think that 5 more minutes should be enough (more if using whole chicken breasts). Maybe someone else can comment? 😊

Hi....I normally use the poaching liquid (from poaching chicken breasts )as stock instead of commercial stock for soups. Would the protein and fat count change much? Thanks

Martina @ KetoDiet 7 years ago # Reply
4/11/2018 9:54:59 PM

Not at all! That is actually the ideal ingredient - use your own stock if you can.

Where do you get sugar free tomato sauce? Or is it something I have to make as well?

Martina @ KetoDiet 7 years ago # Reply
4/9/2018 3:56:58 PM

Hi Taylor, I get mine from a local grocery store - it should be 100% tomatoes, no added sugar.

Not having an instapot could someone share stovetop instructions?

Martina @ KetoDiet 7 years ago # Reply
3/30/2018 7:03:46 PM

I haven't made this soup on the stove but would cook it for 30-35 minutes. First on high heat, then reduce to medium-low once boiling and cover with a lid. I hope this helps!

Never made any kind of soup before and this is DELICIOUS!
I don’t have a instapot so I used my slow cooker on high for 6 hours.
Topped with avocado and sour cream. Definitely a keeper!! Thanks for sharing.

Very good! Did mine on the stove, used leftover turkey instead and added a can of corn and 2 chopped plum tomatoes. If you wanted to stretch it to 6 servings, it would be great with another cup of broth and a rinsed can of black beans.
Thank you!

I made this tonight.  I don't have an Instapot, so I did it on the stovetop.  Phenomenal!!  Served it with avocado and some fat head crackers!!
