💭 Tips

• Substitute zucchini noodles, spaghetti squash, or palmini noodles for the shirataki noodles.
• Feel free to add extra keto-friendly vegetables like spinach or celery for added nutrition and variety.
• Make it a chicken "rice" soup by adding cauliflower rice i place of the shirataki noodles.
• If you don't have leftover chicken on hand, you can cook diced chicken breast or thighs in a large pot in a little bit of olive oil with salt and pepper over medium heat until cooked through. Use the same pan to prepare the soup. Just remove the chicken from the pot and set aside until its time to return it to the chicken soup.
