Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper, then add them to the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned on the outside. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add diced onion, minced garlic, red bell pepper, and jalapeño (if using). Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes. Stir to combine and scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the pot.
Add ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir well to distribute the spices.
Return the chicken thighs to the pot and bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked.
Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the soup.
Stir in the heavy cream and chopped cilantro. Simmer for 2 more minutes to combine flavors.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary. Optionally top with diced avocado, shredded cheddar cheese, or additional cilantro before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your Keto Spicy Chicken Soup!
