Description
Keto Chicken Noodle Soup is certainly a favorite food for kids and adults. This is a low carb recipe that comes off tasting so delicious and at the same time being healthy and helpful for many diets. It is easy to make and full of lots of chicken, veggies, and yes, low carb noodles. It is healthy, filling, and satisfying, which will make it a recipe that you will make over and over again.
Ingredients
- 3 lbs chicken thighs, bone-in, and skin on
- 12 cups water
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 2 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp cumin
- 3 cups chopped celery, with the leaves
- 3 cups chopped carrots
- 2 cups chopped onion
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 2–4 packages pasta zero, or any low carb veggie noodle (zucchini noodles work too)
Instructions
- The first thing to do is get a small bowl and combine all of your spices together. Blend them well and then set them aside.
- Get your soup pot and put it on the stovetop. Add your chicken pieces and then add your water. Make sure that it is enough water to cover your chicken generously because it will evaporate as it cooks. (Feel free to add more water during the cooking process if you see that your water is evaporating too much.)
- Begin cooking the soup on medium heat with the lid on the pot. This will take approximately 2 hours.
- While the chicken is cooking, use the time to chop up all of the vegetables on your cutting board and then set them aside.
- Dump your pasta zero noodles into the colander and rinse for 1 minute. We like to cut them with our kitchen shears so that they are not so long. It’s easier to eat them when they are cut smaller.
- Set the noodles aside with the veggies.
- Once your chicken is cooked and tender, then it’s time to remove the chicken from the pot. Set it aside in a bowl to allow it to cool.
- Now you can add all of your veggies to the pot and cook until they are cooked but not mushy.
- Take the chicken off the bones and cut it up. Once the veggies are cooked then add the chicken and stir.
- Now the last step is to add the pasta zero noodles to the soup, stir and serve!

Leaving the lid on the pot while the soup is cooking will help avoid your broth from evaporating. If you need to add more liquid, just add more water or some chicken broth.
Do not overcook the veggies.
Add the noodles the last 5 minutes before serving. If you prefer, you could also put the noodles right in your bowl and pour the hot soup over them.
Reheating: A pot on the stove is a good way to reheat your keto soup. Heat it on medium heat for about 5 minutes. You could also heat the soup in a bowl or cup in the microwave which will only take 1-2 minutes.
Storing: Put your soup in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Do not let it hang around too long in the refrigerator, it would be best to freeze it and not to waste it.
Freezing: This is easy to do by putting it in individual portion airtight containers so that when you take it out of the freezer you will only thaw out what you are going to eat. For added protection against freezer burn put the containers into ziploc bags.
You can either thaw it out overnight in the refrigerator or thaw it out in a saucepan on the stove, heating it slowly so that it doesn’t stick to the pan.
