SPICY CHICKEN SOUP

I have been into my spiralizer lately.

You probably know my Asian Cucumber Noodle Salad that I share on my Facebook page a lot.

Many of you make that one from time to time. 

That salad is the perfect healthy lunch or side dish.

I happen to think that salad would pair really well with today’s Spicy Chicken Soup.

Both of these dishes pack a lot of flavor and healthy ingredients and use some of my favorite Asian inspired flavors.

One of my older recipes on my site, this Spicy Asian Chicken and Noodle Soup, is what inspired today’s soup.

I love Asian inspired soups, especially when they have a spice in them and are loaded up with garnishes, like fresh cilantro and green onions, sprouts and lots of Sriracha.

One of the best things about a soup like this Spicy Zucchini Soup is how customizable it is.

If you like your soups to have more sweetness, squeeze extra lime in.

I love citrus in my soups like in this Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup.

If ginger if your thing grate a little extra in.

For me this soup is all about the vegetables and the zoodles.

I love the matchstick carrots, fresh cilantro and green onion paired with the zoodles.

If you have a spiralizer, zoodles are so easy to make.

It literally takes about 1 minute and you have a big bowl of healthy noodles.

They also work great in salads and pastas.

If you love pasta but are trying to eat a little healthier try tossing your zoodles in pesto with fresh tomatoes and mozzarella cheese.

It is heavenly!

Look how beautiful those zoodles are!

And the kids think they are super fun to eat, making meal time exciting for them.

My kids like helping me spiralize vegetables…they think it is some sort of fun game.

If it helps get them excited about eating more vegetables and learning more about cooking then I am all about it.
