Chicken and Zoodle Soup

Chicken Zoodle Soup - Healing and Eating

This chicken and zoodle soup is made with homemade chicken bone broth. I normally make this dish without the zoodles, but there was extra zucchini in the fridge and I didn’t want it to go bad. The broth is the real star in the this dish, I roasted a whole grass fed chicken, that wasn’t pretty enough to make it to the blog, and threw the carcass in the slow cooker for two rounds of bone broth. Then, I stored the broth in the freezer, until Shameer and I wanted an easy meal for the week. I’m trying to do more recipes and prep work in the kitchen, that I easily store in the freezer and/or fridge, to make cooking during the week easier.

Serves: 2
Ingredients
  • 8-10 cups of homemade chicken bone broth
  • 1 1lb bag of carrots, chopped
  • 1 zucchini
  • 1 boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh chopped Italian flat leaf parsley
  • sea salt to taste
  • fresh ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit.
  2. On a baking sheet covered in aluminum foil for easy cleanup, add olive oil to prevent sticking, then add chicken breast sprinkled with a pinch of sea salt.
  3. Make a foil tent over chicken breast to capture steam, to keep chicken moist, and bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
  4. Peel carrots with a vegetable peeler, then chop about an inch thick.
  5. Julienne zucchini with a julienne peeler, or use a spiralizer, to make zoodles.
  6. In a large pot or dutch oven, add broth and carrots and cook until soft about 25-30 minutes.
  7. Pull chicken out of the oven and shred with a fork. Then add shredded chicken to soup.
  8. Throw in zucchini noodles at the end and let them cook in soup for ten to fifteen minutes before serving.
  9. Taste test soup and see if it needs more sea salt. I under-salt my homemade broth to adjust easily for recipes.
  10. Garnish with finely chopped parsley and fresh ground black pepper.
