Ingredients

• 5-6 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade or organic
• ½ onion, diced
• 3 stalks celery, diced
• 3 carrots, cut into half moons
• 1 pound cooked or raw chicken, thighs or breast
• 2 zucchinis
• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• 2 teaspoons dried parsley

Instructions

1. Place the stock, diced onions, celery, carrots and raw chicken thighs or (halved) breasts into a large soup pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Let cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the carrots are soft. (If you have cooked chicken, add it towards the end once the veggies are cooked.)
2. Using a slotted spoon, spoon the chicken out of the pot and place in a bowl. Let cool.
3. To make zucchini noodles, cut off the ends of the zucchinis. With a vegetable peeler or a julienne peeler, peel the zucchinis into long strips or use a spializer. Rotate the zucchini in your hand as you go. Keep peeling until you reach the seeds. Set the cores aside for zucchini soup.
4. To make the noodles easier to eat, put them in a pile and then cut them into thirds, lengthwise. Place them in the pot and simmer for 5 minutes or until cooked through. Try not to overcook them.
5. Once chicken is cool to touch, either chop it up on a cutting board or shred with your fingers or a fork. Place back into the pot.
6. Warm through and add salt, pepper and parsley, or any other dried herbs like basil that you prefer.
