  • Add the garlic powder, paprika, poultry seasoning, black pepper, and cayenne pepper and stir everything well.
  • Add the cubed squash and the chicken broth.
  • Raise the heat to high and let cook, stirring to loosen any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan, until the soup comes to a boil.
  • Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and keep the soup at a simmer until the squash is tender enough to be easily pierced with a fork.
  • Ladle one cup of broth out of the pot into a heat safe dish. Mix in the Keto Chow and sour cream until dissolved.
  • Slowly pour this mixture back into the pot of soup while stirring.
  • Add the cheese, green onions and parsley to the pot and heat through, stirring until the cheese is melted.
  • Crumble the reserved cooked bacon.
  • Serve the soup garnished with the bacon.

Notes

*The butternut squash adds a lot of net carbs. If desired, reduce or eliminate the squash to adjust the macros.
