A quick, nourishing chicken zoodle soup packed with fresh ingredients and natural wellness benefits, perfect for comforting and healing from the inside out.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 3 medium zucchinis, spiralized into zoodles
  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 medium carrot, finely diced
  • 1 celery stalk, thinly sliced
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • A handful of chopped parsley or cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Rinse the zucchinis and spiralize them into noodles. Set aside on paper towels to absorb extra moisture (about 10 minutes). Dice the carrot, celery, and onion finely. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onions, carrot, and celery. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and fragrant, stirring occasionally so they don’t brown.
  3. Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until aromatic.
  4. Add the 6 cups of chicken broth to the pot. Sprinkle in thyme, turmeric (if using), salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook uncovered for 10 minutes to meld flavors.
  5. Stir in the cooked, shredded chicken breast. Simmer for another 5 minutes to heat through.
  6. Add the zucchini noodles last, stirring gently. Cook for 2-3 minutes until zoodles soften slightly but remain firm.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  8. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro. Serve immediately.

Notes

Do not overcook the zucchini noodles to prevent sogginess; add them last and cook only 2-3 minutes. Drain zoodles on paper towels before adding to absorb excess moisture. Use low-sodium broth to avoid overpowering flavors. Fresh lemon juice can brighten the broth if it tastes flat. For slow cooker adaptation, cook all ingredients except zoodles on low for 4-6 hours and add zoodles in the last 15 minutes.
