This low carb recipe for homemade chicken noodle soup is so easy to make and ready in just 30 minutes! Shiritake Noodles take the place of pasta in this soup, giving you a lower carbohydrate noodle with a toothsome texture. You can now enjoy this keto friendly recipe and your noodles too!
Sometimes you just feel like you want soup. You want comfort and you want to feel good. That is what chicken noodle soup does for me! I won't eat soup out of a can. While it may work for Grumpy, it does not work for me.
I roasted a whole chicken not long ago and when we were cleaning up the kitchen Grumpy mentioned that I should make soup with what was left over. Funny he should say that because I was thinking the same thing.
If you haven't tried Shiratake Noodles out yet, then you are definitely missing out. While they are made with tofu and have a slightly unpleasant odor when you open the package, don't let that deter you! You rinse the noodles well before you add them to your recipe to help eliminate the odor.
I used chicken breast that I had pre-cooked. However, you can cook your chicken pieces before you cook your veggies or you can use rotisserie chicken. I have also bought pre-chunked chicken from Trader Joe's that works well in this recipe.
This soup makes a good healthy serving of 1-½ cups per person. However, if your really hungry, double up. You will still be under 500 calories for a huge bowl of this soup!

From Valeries Kitchen
I've been in a soup mood lately with all the rain we've had in Northern CA. This looks perfect to me right now.
Shelby
Valerie, I have been too - we went from abnormally warm weather (almost 70) in March back to 50's low 60's and it has made me feel like soup often lately. Thanks!

The soup sounds wonderful. I too save my roasted chicken bones to make my broth. Thanks for sharing this with Presto Pasta Nights. This week it's actually being hosted by Gillian of So So Simple Food.
Shelby
Thanks Ruth! I updated my post to direct people in Gillian's direction 🙂

I have always put the noodles in the soup for a few minutes at the last. I'm going to try cooking them separate next time I make soup. Thanks for another great recipe.
Shelby
Peggy, I did it this way because Grumpy does not like overcooked noodles in any way. Its the only way I can do it and have everything be the texture I need it to be. 🙂 Good to see you!
Jill's Comfort Zone
Nice!!! I'm still trying to make the perfect Chicken Noodle Soup. My noodles never come out right in the soup. LOL
Shelby
🙂 Jill, that's why I opt to not cook them in the soup itself. Grumpy also says I am not to ever bring the soup to a boil, to slowly heat it up. HA HA, he's a soup expert I guess, he lived on soup and boxed macaroni and cheese. lol
