Spicy Sriracha Lime Chicken Zoodle Soup
Description
Spicy Sriracha Lime Chicken Zoodle Soup starts with slicing chicken breast and cooking it thoroughly in broth infused with garlic powder and cumin. Once the chicken is cooked, fresh zucchini spiralized into noodles is added along with lime juice, simmering briefly to meld the flavors and soften the noodles. The soup is served garnished with chopped cilantro and extra Sriracha sauce according to taste, finishing with lime wedges to enhance the citrus flavor. The broth’s savory base supports the spice and brightness from the lime and herbs, creating a comforting yet lively soup. This preparation allows for variations like using rotisserie chicken for convenience or alternative slicing methods for the zucchini noodles. It’s good served immediately to enjoy the texture of the fresh zucchini and the warmth of the broth.
Ingredients
- 8-10 oz chicken breast (approx. 1 large)
- 4 cups broth (chicken or vegetable)
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ⅛ tsp cumin
- 1 zucchini large
- ½ TBSP lime juice fresh
- 1-2 tsp cilantro fresh, chopped
- 1-2 tsp sriracha plus extra to taste
- 2 lime slices/wedges
Instructions
- Cut your chicken into slices and add to a pot over medium-high heat.
- Add broth, garlic powder [or fresh garlic!] and cumin and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer until chicken is cooked thoroughly, about 10 minutes.
- While the chicken cooks, use a spiralizer to transform your zucchini into tasty noodles.
- Once the chicken is ready, add zucchini noodles and lime juice to the soup and simmer for an additional 3 minutes until desired tenderness is reached. For softer noodles, feel free to cook them a tad longer.
- Transfer soup to two large bowls and top each with fresh cilantro and a hearty drizzle of Sriracha chili sauce. Add a little, or a lot! I go nuts with mine, the garlic chili sauce flavor is fantastic with the tender chicken and savory broth. Serve with lime wedges for a burst of citrus flavor.
- Dive in while it's hot!
Notes
- Cutting chicken into smaller pieces before cooking can speed up the cooking process.
- Rotisserie chicken can be used as a shortcut, reducing preparation time.
- If a spiralizer is unavailable, a julienne slicer or vegetable peeler can create zucchini ribbons.
- Substitute cayenne-based hot sauce for Sriracha to meet WHOLE30 guidelines.
- Feel free to adjust Sriracha amount to your preferred spice level.
