My Paleo Chicken Noodle Soup recipe is easy to make if you have homemade chicken stock on hand. My Bubby taught me to keep several jars of chicken stock in the freezer. Doing so makes it easy to throw this soup together. Then, all you need to do is dice up carrots and celery, throw in zucchini noodles, and voila! You’ve got good old fashioned, gluten-free chicken soup made from super food vegetable noodles.
My secret to making this healthy Paleo Chicken Soup recipe gluten-free is to use zucchini noodles. If you aren’t familiar with them, I have a fantastic tutorial called, How to Make Zucchini Noodles that you’ll want to check out! Zucchini noodles, or zoodles, are a healthy real food that’s naturally low-carb, and super easy to make. Since I was diagnosed with celiac disease in 1998, I’ve searched the world over for the healthiest, tastiest gluten-free foods available, and zucchini noodles are high on my list.

I love sipping on this soup on cold days, and my boys do too! Paleo Chicken Soup is delicious and healing. My Bubby served chicken soup and bone broth to us growing up. Back then we called it Jewish penicillin. It’s still the best remedy when you’re feeling under the weather!
Here are some of my other healthy soup recipes that use healthy chicken stock:

Like you I love simple yet delicious recipes and this is the most delicious chicken noodle soup! my “old” recipe is similar but I have never tried zucchini noodles before, oh boy I was so wrong. This is tasting much better with veggies only. I am exploring gluten free eating because of my psoriasis so finding your website was a blessing for me.
I used chicken broth and shredded chicken breast in it. Soup was wiped out clean from the pot by my boys.
thank you so very much!

I have psoriasis and just read your posting about zoodle chicken soup. What can you tell me about this as I have never been told to alter my diet due to having psoriasis?
Elana says
Pat, the gluten-free diet is an amazing treatment for so many health issues because gluten can be a very inflammatory substance to some people.

This soup is meant to be healing for the stomach hence it’s simplicity. I made this today after doing a 24 hour cleanse and it is the perfect way to introduce food back into your stomach without causing irritation from onions garlic or spice. It is delicious, soothing and oh so comforting. You can really taste the freshness of the carrots and celery. Will make this again and again <3

Nicole, thanks! So great to hear you enjoyed this soup!
