Low-Carb Poblano Sausage Soup Ingredients
There are simple ingredients, but if you are like me, you don't normally by poblano peppers. I am always buying bell peppers but these poblano peppers are richer in flavor. I don't know why I don't use them more. Here are the six ingredients you will need for the chile Rellenos soup.
- Ground pork or sausage - Ground pork should be easy to find in the fresh meat area, normally above the pork chops.
- Better than Bouillion Roasted Chicken - Regular bouillon or broth can be used as well.
- Cream cheese
- Queso Quesadilla Cheese
- Adobo seasoning
- Xanthan gum for thickening
How to Make Low-Carb Chile Rellenos Soup
To make this soup, begin by browning the ground pork. Season the pork with the Adobo seasoning. Chop the poblano peppers and add to the pork in the Dutch oven or stockpot as well. When the pork is browned, add the roasted chicken Better than Bouillion. Stir to coat the ground pork and peppers completely.
Then add the cream cheese to the pot to start to melt it.
Slowly add the water. If you are using chicken broth, then combine that liquid amount with the water amount. When the cream cheese is melted and the water is all added, let simmer. Slowly add the shredded quesadilla cheese.
If you want the soup to be a thicker soup, add xanthan gum. Start with one teaspoon and stir to combine. Slowly add more until it reaches the thickness you desire.
Garnish this keto poblano sausage soup with more shredded queso quesadilla cheese and chopped poblano peppers.
