How to Store Keto Crack Chicken Soup for Later

Clara’s Tips for Success

  • Use Leftover Chicken: Rotisserie chicken works perfectly and saves time.
  • Season as You Go: Adjust garlic and onion powder to match your taste.
  • Crispy Bacon Matters: Cook bacon until crisp those crunchy bites make the soup irresistible.

Simple Variations to Try

  • Add Vegetables: Spinach, kale, or broccoli bring extra nutrition.
  • Spice It Up: A pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes adds heat.
  • Cheese Swap: Try mozzarella for creaminess or pepper jack for a kick.
