Asian Chicken Zoodle Soup is what’s on the stove tonight…
Chicken noodle soup is an all seasons comfort when your sick or when you just want something warm in your belly. I have created a soup that eliminates the pasta but keeps the comfort and taste. So you are wondering, how did I remove the pasta? Zucchini! I made zoodles. Zoodles are such a healthy hearty alternative to pasta noodles. They are low in calorie and just as satisfying. They take no time to cook and hold up to any soup or dish you put them in. This Asian Chicken Zoodle Soup recipe is one to be made and shared. So let’s get started!
What you will need:
- 1 Bay leaf
- 1 inch of Chopped Fresh Ginger
- 1 Tsp of Garlic powder
- 1 Tsp of Crushed Red Pepper
- 1 Tsp of Salt
- 4 Boneless Chicken Thighs
- 1 Tsp of Fish Sauce
- 1 Tbsp of Sesame Oil
- 3 Tbsp of low sodium Soy Sauce
- 4 Cups of Unsalted Chicken Broth
- 2 Chopped Scallions
- 1 pint of assorted Mushrooms
- 1/2 cup of Match Stick Carrots
- 1 Medium Sized Onion Chopped
- 1 Zucchini Spiraled
- 1 Cup of Water
Tools:
- Large Stock Pot
- Spiralzer
Instructions:
You need to pour the chicken broth and chicken thighs into a large stock pot. Cook chicken thighs for 8 minutes and then with a sieve scrap the impurities from the top of the broth. Let the chicken cook for another 2 minutes then remove from the large pot. If there are any other impurities then scrap over once more to ensure a clear broth. Chopped or shred the chicken. Sit aside.
Add the sesame oil, fish sauce, soy sauce, scallions, ginger, bay leaf, salt, crushed red pepper, and garlic powder to the large pot. Stir and allow the flavors to marry for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes add the onions, carrots, mushrooms, and water to the broth. Allow the vegetables to cook for about 8 minutes to become tender.
When the vegetables are cooking take the zucchini and follow the directions of the spiralzer to make the noodles. After 8 minutes add the chicken and zoodles. Cook for 2 minutes and serve.
Vegan/Vegetarian Options:
Swap the chicken broth for organic vegetable broth unsalted. Then follow step 2 and 3 eliminating the fish sauce and chicken.
Serve:
You can serve this soup with crackers which would defeat not having the carbs or it is just as tasty eating it alone.
Happy Cooking ♥
