With the winter months approaching fast my niece and I co-conspired to come up with this warm and comforting soup using ‘zoodles’ that’s easy on the waistline.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup diced onions
- 1 cup diced celery
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 5 (14.5 ounce) cans low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup sliced carrots
- ¾ pound cooked chicken breast, cut into bite sized pieces
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 pinch dried thyme (Optional)
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 3 zucchini squash, cut into 'noodles' using a spiral slicer or vegetable peeler
Directions
Step 1
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Saute onion, celery, and garlic in hot oil until just tender, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Pour chicken broth into the pot; add carrots, chicken, basil, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the broth to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer mixture until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
Step 3
Divide zucchini 'noodles' between six soup bowls; ladle broth mixture over the 'noodles.'
Cook’s Note:
'Zoodles' (zucchini noodles) can be made with a julienne peeler, a mandoline with a julienne blade, or a Spirooli® or Paderno® spiral slicer. I use a Paderno®.
