Notes
Options for Substitutions
Need to make some swaps? Here are some helpful substitutions that work well in this keto soup:
Chicken breasts: You can easily swap chicken breasts for chicken thighs – they actually add more flavor and stay juicier. Turkey breast works too if that’s what you have on hand.
Cream cheese: This is a key ingredient for the creamy texture, but if needed, you can use mascarpone cheese. Just avoid low-fat versions as they won’t give you the same rich consistency.
Ranch seasoning: If you don’t have the packet, mix 1 tablespoon each of dried parsley and dill, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, and ½ teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
Bacon: Turkey bacon works as a lighter option, or you could use diced ham. If skipping the meat altogether, add 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika for that smoky flavor.
Cheddar cheese: Feel free to use Monterey Jack, Colby, or a Mexican cheese blend. Just make sure it’s full-fat to keep the soup keto-friendly.
Chicken stock: Bone broth makes a great substitute and adds extra nutrients. In a pinch, you can use chicken bouillon cubes dissolved in water (follow package instructions for ratio).
