Low-Carb Turkey Soup With Zucchini Noodles Source: kalynskitchen.com Ingredients: • 1 onion, diced small • 1 cup diced celery • 1 cup chopped carrots (or use less carrots if you want the lowest-carb version) • 2 tsp. olive oil • 1 tsp. dried thyme • 1 tsp. poultry seasoning • 1/2 tsp. Spike Seasoning • 12 cups stock or broth , canned chicken broth, or water with Penzey’s Turkey Soup Base) • 2-3 cups diced cooked turkey (or chicken) • 1 large zucchini (10-12 inches long) made into short, thick noodles • fresh ground black pepper to taste Directions: 1. Chop up the onions, celery, and carrots into small pieces, less than 1/2 inch across. 2. Heat olive oil in the soup pot and saute the veggies for a few minutes, then add the thyme, poultry seasoning, and Spike Seasoning and cook about a minute longer. 5. While the soup simmers, cut turkey into small bite-sized pieces. 6. Use a Spiralizer or another method to make zucchini noodles to make short thick noodles. (We used a Spiralizer on the medium blade, cutting a slit halfway through the zucchini lengthwise so we would get short half moon noodles; then we cut noodles into smaller pieces with kitchen scissors. 7. When the vegetables and broth have simmered about 30 minutes, add the turkey pieces and simmer about 10 minutes more. (Depending on how high of a temperature you’ve used, you may want to add a little water at this point.) 3. Add the stock or broth and let the soup start to cook on low heat. 8. Then add zucchini noodles and simmer 20 minutes more, or until the noodles are as soft as you like them. 4. Once it comes to a low simmer, cook 30 minutes. 9. eason to taste with fresh ground black pepper and serve hot. 24 November 2018 INSIGHT
