Are Noodles Keto?

Traditional noodles are often made from wheat or rice and are not Keto compliant. There are however many alternative options available that allow you to enjoy the texture and consistency of noodles while maintaining a low carb diet. We have used Shirataki noodles for our Keto chicken soup as they make an excellent low carb alternative to the real thing, providing a very similar texture. As an alternative, you may use finely shredded cabbage or spiralized zucchini in place of the Shirataki noodles. Please note that if you substitute the noodles, you will need to adjust cooking times accordingly for your chosen alternative.

What Kind of Chicken Can I Use in My Noodle Soup?

Chicken noodle soup is an excellent way to stretch the budget and use up any leftover cooked chicken. We have used shop-bought rotisserie chicken for our soup. However, you may use any cooked chicken you have to hand. Perfect for using leftover meat from a roasted chicken any cold meat from thighs or drumsticks. Please update your macros to account for any changes or additions you make to the original recipe.
