For the broth:

  • 4 chicken thighs, skinned

  • 2 carrots, peeled and chopped

  • 1 small onion, peeled and chopped

  • 2 stalks of celery, roughly chopped

  • 1 handful of fresh parsley

  • 1 handful of fresh thyme

  • 2 cups of water – just enough to cover the vegetables

  • 2 carrots & 1 courgette - spiralized!
  • 2 sheets of noodles
  • Small handful of fresh coriander to garnish

Method:

  1. Add all of the broth ingredients to a large pot.
  2. Bring to the boil over a high heat, reduce the heat and simmer for 30-40 minutes with the lid on, until the chicken has cooked through.
  3. Once the broth has finished cooking, remove the chicken and set aside, before straining the remainder of the mixture and discarding the vegetables.
  4. Bring the broth to the boil and simmer for a further 5-10 minutes to enhance the flavour.
  5. Once you are ready to serve your soup, tear the chicken away from the bones, add into the broth with the carrot and simmer for 5 minutes.
  6. Turn off the hob, add the zoodles and the noodles and leave to stand for 3-5 minutes with the lid on.
  7. Garnish with coriander and enjoy!
