Why You’ll Love This Recipe:
- Healthy & Paleo-Friendly: Made with wholesome ingredients, this soup fits perfectly into a paleo or health-conscious lifestyle.

- Flavorful & Comforting: A delicious and satisfying soup that will warm your soul.
- Versatile: Easily customizable with your favorite herbs and vegetables.
Tips for the Best Soup:
- Zoodle Prep: Don’t overcook the zoodles! They should be tender-crisp. If you don’t have a spiralizer, you can use a vegetable peeler to create ribbons.
- Broth Quality: Using a high-quality chicken broth makes a huge difference in the flavor of the soup. Homemade is best, but store-bought organic broth is a great alternative.
- Spice it Up: Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce for a little extra kick.
- Fresh Herbs: Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme for a burst of freshness.
Is this soup good for meal prepping?
Absolutely! This soup stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Keep in mind that the zoodles may soften slightly over time.
Can I use other vegetables?
Yes! Feel free to add other paleo-friendly vegetables like carrots, celery, or mushrooms.
Can I make this soup in an Instant Pot?
Yes, you can! Sauté the onions and garlic as directed, then add the remaining ingredients and cook on high pressure for 5-7 minutes, followed by a natural pressure release.
What kind of chicken should I use?
Rotisserie chicken works great for convenience, or you can use leftover cooked chicken breast or thighs.
Enjoy this delicious and healthy soup!
