This Low-Carb Chicken Zoodle Soup Can Heal You From The Inside Out

The seasonal joys of autumn are upon us, which means apple picking, football games, and everything with a cinnamon-scented, pumpkin-infused glow. But there’s one thing that isn’t so enjoyable when the leaves change color and the weather turns crisp: cold season.

Enter Anna Hunley’s chicken zoodle soup: a savory and soothing tonic for all of your runny nose woes.

The healing properties of chicken broth have been widely recognized (by your grandma and by scientific research), and this soup is sure to rival any secret family recipe you have. What’s more, the zucchini noodles make the soup low-carb and keto-friendly, so you don’t have to sacrifice your healthy eating plan while getting back to 100%.

But the true kicker to this cold-kicking soup? All it takes is 35 minutes to whip up in your Instant Pot. Whether you’re in a sniffly state or feeling A-OK, you’ll want this soup on hand all season long.

Ingredients:

1½ pounds (680 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3½ ounces (100 g) chopped onion
1½ ounces (42 g) diced carrot
2 ribs celery, chopped
3 cups (720 ml) chicken broth
2 teaspoons salt
1½ teaspoons poultry seasoning
½ teaspoon black pepper
10½ ounces (294 g) zucchini noodles

Method:

Add the chicken, onion, carrot, celery, chicken broth, salt, poultry seasoning, and pepper to the Instant Pot.
Close the lid and seal the vent. Cook on HIGH pressure for 25 minutes. Quick-release the steam. Press CANCEL.
Remove the chicken from the soup and shred with two forks. Return the chicken to the soup.
Add the zucchini noodles to the hot soup and let sit until the noodles are soft, 5 to 10 minutes. If you’d like a softer noodle, you can cook the soup an additional 1 to 2 minutes on LOW pressure.

Note: Frozen chicken breasts may be used without adjusting the cooking time.
