Keto Instant Pot Asian Chicken Soup

You will love this fun take on a Keto Instant Pot chicken soup! Chicken thighs are simmered until tender and falling apart, creating a delicious, flavorful broth. Vegetables are added to the broth, including a small amount of carrot, shiitake mushrooms, onion, bell peppers, and snap peas. Creamy coconut milk is also added to the broth to make it rich and delicious. A dash of fish sauce brings out all the umami flavors of the broth. Once the vegetables are perfectly cooked, the hot soup is ladled into bowls, each topped with freshly sliced scallions.

Are carrots Keto?

While carrots are higher in carbs in a large serving, the amount used in this recipe is so small that it is still considered a Keto dish. If you are less flexible in your Keto approach, feel free to leave the carrots out and only use shiitake mushrooms and snap peas. If you want to bulk up the vegetables, you could add cauliflower florets too.

What is the best coconut milk to use?

The best coconut milk to use is canned coconut milk, which is high in fat, extra creamy, and rich. Carton coconut milk is cut with water and stabilizers and doesn't lead to a decadent soup.

What can I substitute for fish sauce?

If you are not a fan of fish sauce, don't add it! If you simply don't have the ingredient, you can use salt to flavor the broth instead. If you want the umami flavor from fish but don't have fish sauce, you could use a teaspoon of anchovy paste whisked into the broth.
