As I write this, I’m Day 3 into a head cold. I’m full of snot, coughs and cloudy headedness. All I wanted was some darn chicken noodle soup. A delicious low carb chicken soup with noodles. I’ve seen great interpretations of this before on r/keto and here is what I threw together tonight.

Again, I’m sick so I took EVERY SHORTCUT IMAGINABLE because otherwise, I would have eaten a few spoonfuls of almond butter and called it a night. But my body deserves better than that, so I mustered up the energy as detailed below.

For example, I got a store bought, pre-cooked rotisserie chicken. You know the ones I’m talking about – all major grocery stores have those nice piping-hot cooked whole chickens. Make sure to grab an herb/butter one (NOT one with BBQ sauce on it). These things taste consistently amazing across any grocery store I have gone to and are roughly the same price as a raw chicken. Save yourself the time and effort of chicken-prep, especially if you are not feeling well.

Interestingly enough, this soup tasted even better the next day. WOO!





Print Recipe Low Carb Chicken Soup with Noodles A hearty, filling low carb chicken noodle soup recipe Prep Time 15 mins Cook Time 15 mins Total Time 30 mins Ingredients 1 whole Chicken cooked

1 Spaghetti Squash

4 Carrots

5 stalks Celery

3 cloves Garlic

0.5 Onion

64 ounces Chicken Broth do not get low sodium

2 tablespoons Salt

1 Cinnamon Stick

1 tablespoon Oregano

1 tablespoon Summertime Savory if you have it - if not, add in thyme and or rosemary

1 teaspoon Nutmeg

Black Pepper Instructions Stab the spaghetti squash and microwave it for ten minutes

While waiting for the squash, coarsely chop up the carrots, celery, garlic and onion

Sautee the vegetables with a dash of olive oil until tender

Pour chicken broth into a large sauce pan and set heat to medium high - add cinnamon stick to broth

Check on that squash - it should indent easily to the touch when poked - turn it on it's side and nuke it in 5 minute increments until it's tender

Tear the chicken apart, eat the skin while it's nice and hot if you are hungry. Put all the meat/skin in a bowl and have the meat as bite sized pieces

Once vegetables are tender, dump them into the chicken broth pot

How's that spaghetti squash coming along? Tender yet? If yes, cut him in half and let it cool for a bit. If not, keep microwaving.

Add chicken, salt, oregano, nutmeg, pepper and any other herb spices you are using to the broth

Remove the seeds/internal part of the squash and shred squash with a fork to get the 'noodles'. Add the noodles to the soup

Sample the soup - adjust seasonings as needed

Let simmer for a few minutes and voila! Don't forget to remove the cinnamon stick and bay leaves before serving.
