Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 3 stalks celery diced
  • 2 large carrots peeled and diced
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary minced
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 2 large bay leaves
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 medium zucchini spiralized
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • Fresh parsley leaves chopped for garnish

Instructions

  • Saute the vegetables. Heat olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onions, celery, and carrots. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until tender. Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Stir in minced garlic and rosemary. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Boil the chicken. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and add the bay leaves and chicken breasts. Cover and cook for 15 minutes. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it and shred or chop.
  • Add the zucchini noodles. Stir in zucchini noodles and chicken; reduce heat to a simmer and cook until zucchini is tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in lemon juice; season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve. Serve hot, garnished with rosemary, lemon slices, and parsley.

Notes

  • You can use cooked chicken in this chicken zoodle recipe. Add it to the soup when you add the zucchini noodles.
  • Shredded cabbage is also a great substitute if you don’t want to use zucchini noodles.
  • If you want to add more flavor to your soup, try ground turmeric, fresh minced ginger, orzo, thyme, thin rice noodles, chickpeas, and lentils.
  • To add bulk and make this soup more filling, add cauliflower rice just before serving. You can also try spaghetti squash noodles or shirataki noodles.
