Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast (rotisserie chicken works great for ease)
  • 8 oz shirataki noodles, rinsed and drained thoroughly
  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1/2 tsp dried rosemary, crushed
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for sautéing)
  • Juice of half a lemon

Instructions

  1. Rinse shirataki noodles under cold running water for 2-3 minutes to remove natural odor. Boil noodles for 2-3 minutes, drain, and set aside. Optionally, dry-fry in a non-stick pan for 2 minutes to improve texture.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onions, carrots, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant, about 5-6 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  3. Pour in chicken broth and stir in dried thyme, parsley, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. Add shredded chicken and prepared shirataki noodles to the pot. Simmer for 5 minutes to warm through and let noodles absorb broth flavor.
  5. Remove pot from heat and stir in juice of half a lemon. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  6. Ladle soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

Rinse shirataki noodles thoroughly to remove their natural fishy aroma. Optionally dry-fry noodles to improve texture. Simmer soup gently to keep broth clear and chicken tender. Add lemon juice at the end to brighten flavors. For leftovers, add broth or water when reheating to loosen thickened soup. Freeze soup without noodles for best texture.
