Made with tender, seasoned chicken thighs, a medley of vibrant vegetables, and a rich, aromatic chicken broth, this recipe swaps traditional noodles for spiralized zucchini, keeping it keto-friendly and packed with nutrients. Fresh herbs like thyme and parsley elevate the flavor profile, while the short 15-minute prep time and one-pot cooking make it a convenient option for busy weeknights or meal prep. Perfectly hearty and satisfying, this soup is ideal for keto dieters or anyone craving a wholesome bowl of soup without the extra carbs. Serve it hot, and enjoy a nourishing bowl of goodness!
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then add them to the pot. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add minced garlic, chopped celery, sliced carrots, and chopped onion. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
Return the chicken to the pot with the sautéed vegetables.
Pour in the chicken broth, add bay leaves and thyme. Stir well to combine.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 25 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Remove the chicken once again from the pot, let it cool slightly, and shred it using two forks.
Return the shredded chicken to the pot, and add the zucchini noodles. Simmer for another 5 minutes until the noodles are tender.
Remove the bay leaves, adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
