    I know it’s Summer but I could eat soup anytime of year.  This chicken meatball zoodle soup is so delicious and filling and so flavorful!

    I adapted this delicious soup from Damn Delicious.  I thought it looked so delicious (as all of her recipes do) but I wanted to make it more keto friendly.

    This was an easy task!  I simply replaced the breadcrumbs with almond flour in the meatballs and reduced some of the onion and carrot.

    The chicken meatballs in the soup make it so interesting and give it so much more flavor.  I really wouldn’t skip the meatballs!

    How to make the zucchini noodles

    Zucchini noodles are really great in soup as they are usually watery.  They give an extra healthy dose of veggies.

    I use the Inspiralizer to make the zucchini noodles.  It is by far the best zoodle maker out there!

      Love this site! Tried this recipe tonight for dinner and it was fabulous! I forgot to add the lemon juice but it still turned out awesome. I baked the meatballs and they were great. Give it a try and you will not be disappointed!

      I tried this recipe but instead of making my own meatballs – I already had on hand some fresh Italian meatballs that I picked up at Aldi so I used them. It was great! The family loved it too. I will definitely make again !!
