Low-Carb Keto Chicken Pot Pie Soup (Instant Pot Or Stovetop)
This Low-Carb Keto Chicken Pot Pie Soup is comfort in a bowl! It can be made in the Instant Pot or on the stove and is super-rich, creamy, and comes together in about 30 minutes.
Lightly season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Turn the Instant Pot on Saute mode. Melt the butter in the pot, then add the carrots, celery, and onions and saute for 3 to 5 minutes, or until veggies are tender.
Add garlic and saute 30 seconds, or until fragrant, then press "cancel" on the Instant Pot.
Add the chicken broth, peas (if using), bay leaves, and chicken breasts. Secure lid with valve set on "sealing" and cook on high pressure for 18 minutes.
After Instant Pot is done cooking, allow to release pressure naturally for 5 minutes, then turn the knob to manually release the rest of the pressure.
Remove chicken with a slotted spoon and transfer to a bowl or cutting board. Shred with two forks then return to Instant Pot.
Add the thyme, salt, pepper, heavy cream, and cream cheese. Press "simmer" on the Instant Pot and simmer until the cream cheese is melted, stirring occasionally.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Garnish with fresh rosemary if desired and serve hot.
