People often think San Diego never gets cold. But our evenings are chilly, and team members have flannel sheets on their beds. It’s not as cold as the rest of the country, but it’s January here too!
On cold nights, no matter where you are, soup is a wonderfully warming dish. These wonderful, low-carb soups are filled with noodles and are perfect for fighting off the cold weather! Plus, as we are in the depths of cold and flu season, they’re great for anyone nursing an illness!
This wonderful version of ramen uses noodles made from the konjac plant, or elephant yam. They are low in carbs. While the recipe calls for the brand Miracle Noodles — which can be found at Costco or online — any low-carb ramen noodles will work well. This recipe isn’t like the instant ramen from a package. This version has eggs, chicken and scallions, making it a full meal! A serving has 360 calories, four grams of carbs and five grams of fat. Get the recipe.
If you want classic chicken noodle soup, look no further. This recipe uses noodles made from hearts of palm. The brand is available online. But, just like the last recipe, any low-carb noodle will do. It used to be hard to find low-carb pasta. Now there are so many brands on the market, we are spoiled for choice, and you can find them on the shelves of Walmart. Your favorite will work in this dish! You just have to reassess the nutrition. A serving has 231 calories, 6.5 grams of carbs, 2.3 grams of fiber and 7.7 grams of fat. Get the recipe.
Some people either don’t like low-carb pasta or want to get more veggies into their day. When you see noodles in quotation marks, you probably assume this soup has zoodles in it. Zucchini noodles are the most common. But this recipe uses spaghetti squash, which is perfect for January! Outside of that swap, it’s a very traditional chicken noodle soup recipe. Picking between this one and the one above is a matter of preference. A serving has 72 calories, seven grams of carbs, one gram of fiber, and four grams of fat. Get the recipe.
If you are looking for something a little out there and with extra veggies, this is the soup for you! This soup uses zoodles instead of noodles, as well as cream and butter to make a creamy, rich soup. If you aren’t quite ready to let go of the holidays and are still looking for something decadent, this is for you! A serving has 459 calories, seven grams of carbs and 32 grams of fat. Get the recipe.
We hope these soups help you stay warm and full while the weather outside is still frightful!
