Warm, comforting and crazy flavorful. Keto Chicken Cordon Bleu Soup.
In the winter months, my slow cooker is my favorite kitchen appliance. I love that with the right ingredients, and a little preparation, you can develop such rich, complex flavors. This soup is a great make ahead to take to a party or to freeze in smaller batches to eat later. You are sure to love this soup version of an old classic.

So. My husband totally ranked this soup up with his favorite. We loved it, I think next time we’ll add celery! I swear I’m not stalking you, I’m just determined to cook all of your recipes now.

I made this over the weekend as it was finally a little cool and rainy in Florida. Had some family over Sunday night and it was a huge hit! It is so easy to make and the flavor is Heavenly! Everyone loved it, and for my non-low carb family members, I also included rice to serve it over. However, it is quite filling on its own. Shared some leftovers with my boss for lunch on Monday (she also eats low carb) and she couldn’t believe it was low carb. Just a great dish. I will definitely make it again. Thank you for sharing all of your wonderful recipes. It really makes it easy to live a low carb “lifestyle” having so much variety.

This looks delicious but I was wondering since I don’t like sour cream, could it be replaced with a little bit more cream or maybe more chicken broth?

sounds amazing, pinned!

Sooo, so, so GOOD! Thank you! Wonderful use of leftover turkey without that ‘leftover turkey’ taste! I added a tbsp. worcestershire sauce and added about a cup of kale, cabbage, beet leaf salad mix to the pot. Very good! A keeper~

Okay. I admit. I had never cooked with tarragon before, and was a bit nervous about it’s flavor description. Then, I remembered that you have never done me wrong. I was tempted to just omit it, but I bought it anyway. I loved it, and feel it took the flavor from what would have been ordinary to extraordinary! I ended up adding extra. 😉 I did make a few modifications in an effort to adjust it to my meal prep for the week. I added a package of cauliflower florets (chopped) to add some bulk (after tasting it made per the recipe), and added an extra four tablespoons of butter to balance out the fat macros for my personal diet plan. I ended up with 7 large bowls of soup for the week, and they are DELICIOUS! This is seriously the quality of food I would expect to receive in a nice restaurant, and makes eating keto/low carb anything but boring. Thank you, thank you for providing so many low carb menu ideas for those of us that are less than creative in the kitchen.

I made this and it is amazing! Even my children liked it. It’s getting permanently added to my list. I followed the recipe exactly and felt it was too runny, so I added a tiny bit of Xantham Gum,FYI, for those of us that like a thicker consistency. Other than that it was perfection!

Love this recipe! Just the right amount of richness. Best comfort, cold or/and rainy weather soup (“keto” soup is not needed in this statetment, just Soup lol.). My husband who is not low carb anything but supportive and eats everything I make said this is definitely 5 stars! If I had to say anything about this recipe, add the cauliflower and spinach you mentioned in the outer link in the actual recipe cause it is perfect combination making it tastier and heartier, while the spinach added good contrast. BRAVO

My only issue with this recipe is that it separated by the time the 6 hour cooking time was up. But easily brought back with a splash of cream and a bit of xanthum gum. Great with tobasco!
