Description

Add more veggies to your chicken soup by using spiral-cut zucchini "noodles."

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup diced onions
1 cup diced celery
3 cloves garlic, minced
5 (14 1/2 ounce) cans low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup sliced carrots
3/4 pound cooked chicken breast, cut into bite sized pieces
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 pinch dried thyme
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 zucchini squash, cut into 'noodles' using a spiral slicer or vegetable peeler

Directions

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.
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.
3 Divide zucchini 'noodles' between six soup bowls; ladle broth mixture over the 'noodles.'
