  3. Add the chicken, salt, pepper, and chicken stock and stir well.
  4. Place the lid on the cooker, pressurize, and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 1 hour (25 minutes at high pressure for instant pot).
  5. Turn off the heat and leave the pressure cooker to depressurize for 15 minutes before removing the lid.
  6. Use a metal spoon to press the chicken against the sides of the pot to shred the meat.
  7. Place the pot over low heat and add the cream.
  8. Sprinkle the xanthan gum over the simmering soup and whisk for 5 minutes to ensure no lumps.
  9. Remove from the heat and serve topped with the chives.

Slow Cooker & Stovetop Instructions

If you don’t have a pressure cooker, you can use a slow cooker. Using the same method, cook the keto chicken soup recipe on high for 4 hours in the slow cooker.

You can also use a pot with the lid on the stovetop over low heat. Simmer for 1.5 – 2 hours, occasionally stirring (every 15 minutes).
