I had not intended to make this recipe for the blog. I actually had a lot of chicken thighs in the fridge and my hubby had a cold so I made this chunky chicken soup in the Instant Pot for those reasons. My family liked it so much I felt I should share it. While there are noodles in this recipe, you can just eliminate them and it would be low carb at only 2.9g net carbs.

Do you ever look into your freezer and think to yourself, “I’ve got to use some of this or throw it away.” That was me with these frozen cod filets I had from Costco. I’m not much of a cod fan. I don’t think it has much taste but it’s very meaty and great for deep frying. However I have not come across a good low carb batter so I made a super rich and savory sauce instead resulting in this low carb creamy sound dried tomato cod skillet. The sauce is perfect for the mild tasting fish and it’s only 1.6g net carbs per serving!
