Chicken Zoodle Soup
My Healthy Detox Chicken Zoodle Soup is a big bowl of comfort! The soup is full of spiralized veggies: zoodles, coodles, and poodles, (spiralized zucchini, carrots, and parsnips.) Spiralizing veggie names is fun!
My sons are traditional Chicken Noodle Soup guys and they request this version all the time! The ginger and veggies are so good for helping to feel better when the flu is in the house! Ginger, is my go-to when anyone is feeling they need a detox. Thus, my very popular Detox Lemon Ginger Green Tea and Detox Blueberry Lemon Ginger Iced Tea!
