Equipment

  • Large stockpot or Dutch oven
  • Spiralizer (for zucchini)
  • Tongs
  • Cutting board
  • Forks for shredding chicken

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion diced
  • 4 celery ribs diced
  • 3 medium carrots sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 8 ounces each)
  • 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger or 2 teaspoons dried
  • 2 tablespoons grated fresh turmeric or 2 teaspoons dried
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 large zucchini spiralized
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced onion, celery, and carrots. Sauté for about 4 to 5 minutes until the onions are translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  • Cook the Chicken and Broth: Add the chicken broth, chicken breasts, ginger, turmeric, coriander, salt, and pepper to the pot. Increase the heat to bring the soup to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through.
  • Shred the Chicken: Remove the cooked chicken breasts from the pot and place them on a cutting board. Using two forks, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
  • Add the Zoodles: Stir in the spiralized zucchini and simmer the soup for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, until the zucchini is just tender. Mix in the chopped parsley.
  • Serve: Divide the soup among bowls and serve warm. Enjoy a hearty, healthy, and flavorful meal!

Notes

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
Reheating: Reheat a portion in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes if thawed or 3 to 4 minutes if frozen. Alternatively, reheat on the stovetop until warmed through.
Tips: Feel free to substitute spiralized zucchini with other vegetables like spaghetti squash or even cauliflower rice for variation.
