Why this works

The classic chicken noodle soup, but the noodles are zucchini. The chicken, celery and herbs pressure cook in 10 minutes, then the hot broth goes straight over raw zoodles in the bowl.

Put the raw zoodles in the bowls and ladle the hot soup over. They soften in seconds and stay firm.

Method

01
Sauté the celery, onion and garlic in the oil for 4 minutes, until soft.
02
Add the chicken, broth, parsley, salt, marjoram, pepper and bay leaf. Pressure cook for 10 minutes, then let the pressure release on its own.
03
Put ⅓ cup raw zucchini noodles in each bowl and ladle the hot soup over.

Good to know

Don't cook the zoodles in the pot. They turn mushy.

Making it ahead? Store the soup and zoodles separately.

Butter or coconut oil both work for the base.

Leftovers keep in the fridge for 3 days.

Questions

Before you start

Can I use store-bought zoodles?

Yes, fresh or frozen. Thaw frozen ones and pat them dry first.

Can I make it on the stove?

Yes. Simmer until the chicken is cooked through, then add the zoodles to the bowls the same way.
