CHICKEN ZOODLE SOUP

Cold weather has been a part of our daily routine for a few months now, making every outdoor task that much more demanding. We can’t speak for everyone, but for us here at Wilderness Athlete, nothing caps off a cold day of hard work better than a good bowl of Chicken Noodle Soup. Note, a good bowl of soup never comes from a can. It is chalk full of hearty, healthy ingredients that not only warm the soul but also fuel your body.

This being said, we are always looking for new and exciting ways to make the soups we love even better. If you are looking for a low-carb alternative to Chicken Noodle Soup, then this Chicken Zoodle Soup is the best way to go. Not only is it lower in carbohydrates, but it tastes amazing. The zucchini noodles are a great alternative and provide your palate with a very similar texture. This is not one of those recipes you use just because you are trying to be healthy. Trust us, after you have this soup, you may never go back to noodles again.
