This soup was a welcome addition to our keto recipe collection! I halved the broth and added a little extra heavy cream, about 1/4 C. I also used the spicy rotel and a dash of cayenne pepper because we love spicy food. The whole family loved it! Side note: served with avocado, mexican cheese and chives on top. Read More

The flavor was fine, but it could be a little richer in taste. I thought this would be a creamier soup, but it was very liquid-y; however the family ate & liked it. I followed the recipe to a "T" , but only used 1 can of Rotel (drained). The 1 can was plenty of tomatoes. I might make this again, but with some alterations to make it thicker & richer in flavor.

Our new family favorite! I am trying to do keto and it’s hard with a picky husband and a one year old. If you’re looking for family friendly keto recipes, this is it. Some people mentioned it was a little runny or thin and I’ve found that the leftovers are actually better because it has time to “set up”. We ate it for dinner and I added a handful of shredded cheese in the pot to thicken it up a bit and add some more flavor and that made a huge difference. We are now eating it for lunch and it definitely seems thicker today. I added some sour cream to my one year old’s to tone down the mild spice for her. Overall we loved it with just those couple adjustments! Read More

An easy, Keto-friendly meal for a chilly evening. I followed the advice of other commenters and reduced the broth by half and increased the heavy cream in order to thicken the base, and I added grated fontina cheese for extra flavor. My husband gobbled down two bowls, so it gets the family stamp of approval. Will definitely make this again. Read More

Really good! I added half and half and cooked a bit longer to thicken a bit. I'm definitely recommending this budget friendly meal. Read More

I used 4 oz. of cream cheese in stead of 8oz. added about 4 cups of cabbage and chopped up 4 jalapenos (seeds removed). It was really good and perfect for a cool evening! Read More

This was really good! Only change I made was to put in half as much broth as was called for so the soup would be thicker. Flavor was superb! Didn't need the salt - be sure to taste before adding. So tempted to have even more but it is filling! Read More
