Chicken Zoodle Soup

Chicken Zoodle Soup

Chicken Zoodle Soup with sliced avocado

I love soup and zoodles (Zucchini Noodles) and found the recipe at the Damn Delicious blog and had to make it with minor changes. I added more fresh thyme and used Mexican oregano and tri-color carrots. I omitted dry thyme and dry rosemary since I find rosemary can overpower a dish and the sprig I used was large. I cut all the vegetables in the morning before work and put everything in the fridge in ziploc bags to save time the day I was making the soup. Allen spiralized the zucchini in the afternoon and placed them in a ziploc bag in the fridge. This Chicken Zoodle Soup is a very hearty and healthy soup. It tastes so great from the spices and ingredients and is good for you. I recommend you try it. Recipe is below.
