Chicken Courgetti Soup

Chicken courgetti soup is a great grain-free and IC-friendly replacement for traditional chicken noodle soup. It includes bone broth, a great food for the bladder.





Traditional German chicken noodle/pasta soup has always been one of my absolute comfort foods. Even when I was still a vegetarian I would eat it without the meat.

When I started the GAPS diet and removed all grains it became one of my staples. Unfortunately, that meant the pasta shapes were a no-go. Luckily there’s a grain-free way of replacing them: courgetti (courgette spaghetti) a.k.a zoodles (zucchini noodles).

Basically you just take a courgette and use a julienne peeler or a spiralizer to cut it into noodle shapes (the same could be done with any vegetable but courgettes are great because they don’t have a very strong taste).

This soup is very quick to throw together, especially if you’ve reserved some chicken meat from making stock.

It is great as a starter or main.
