Low Carb Green Curry Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe – A fabulous paleo (and ketogenic diet) chicken soup with with zesty exotic flavor and fragrant herbs!

The secret to this low carb chicken noodle soup is konnyaku noodles. Konnyaku noodles are made with Asian sweet potato starch and are gluten free and extremely low in carbs

In fact, most brands of konnyaku noodles have only 1-4 grams of carbohydrates per serving. That means you can eat your pasta and squeeze into your skinny jeans!

Ingredients:

• 1 teaspoon coconut oil
• 1 onion, peeled and chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
• 1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
• 3 carrots, sliced
• 1 1/4 pounds whole boneless skinless chicken breast
• 13.5 ounce can thick unsweetened coconut milk
• 3-6 tablespoons green curry paste
• 9 cups chicken broth
• 3 tablespoons fish sauce
• 14 ounce konnyaku noodles
• 2 cups small broccoli florets
• 1/2 cup fresh thai basil leaves
• Salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Place the oil in a large 6-8 quart sauce pot over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, sauté the onions, minced garlic, and ginger for 3 minutes to soften. Stir in the chopped bell pepper and carrots.
2. Add the chicken breasts, coconut milk, 3 tablespoons green curry paste, chicken broth and fish sauce to the pot. Raise the heat to high and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat back to medium, then simmer for 15 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, drain and rinse the konnyaku noodles.
4. Using tongs, remove the chicken breasts from the pot. Use a fork and the tongs to shred the chicken. Then place it back in the pot. Stir in the konnyaku noodles and the broccoli florets. Taste, then add 1-3 more tablespoons green curry paste if desired. Taste again, then salt and pepper as needed.
5. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve warm.

NOTES: 

Green curry paste varies greatly in spice level and sodium, based on the brand you buy. Start with a small amount of curry pasta and add more at the end. You can find green curry paste and fish sauce in the “international foods” section of most grocery stores.
