    omg i just made this chicken zoodle soup and idk how i feel about it ๐Ÿค”... i mean, its pretty easy to make and all, but its not really my thing since i'm pescatarian and all... i did substitute the chicken with mushrooms tho and that was pretty cool ๐Ÿ„... the dish is defo healthy and all, but i think it needs some more Mediterranean vibes to give it that wow factor ๐ŸŒŠ... maybe some lemon juice or feta cheese or something? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ anywayz, its a solid 3 stars from me, would recomend for all u non pescatarians out there ๐Ÿ‘

    I make this Chicken Zoodle Soup and it's so yummy! I love zucchini, it's like **little green noodle**, very fun to eat. This soup make me feel happy, like big hug in bowl. I like that it's not too heavy, my tummy happy too. Only thing I change is add some **Italian seasoning**, it give extra flavor. I think you should try, it's very easy to make and good for when you feel sick. 4 stars, I like!

    I like this Chicken Zoodle Soup. It is easy to make and good for me because it does not have gluten. I like that it has chicken and vegetables, it is like a traditional Norwegian stew but with zucchinis instead of potatoes. The recipe is also straightforward and easy to follow. I think it is a good dish for after a long day outside. Maybe next time I will add some seafood to make it more like a Norwegian stew.

    Wow, just devoured this Chicken Zoodle Soup and I'm feelin' pretty meh about it, if I'm bein' completely honest with ya! Don't get me wrong, it's a grand effort and all, but it's just not really my cup of tea, know what I mean? I mean, I'm a seafood lover at heart, and this dish is just a bit too...chicken-y for my taste buds. And, fair play to the recipe, it's dairy-free, so that's a definite plus in my book! But, I think I'd love it if they added some proper Irish flair to it, maybe some prawns or mussels to give it a bit of a seafood boost? Anyway, it's still a tasty enough soup, and I'd definitely give it a lash again, maybe with some tweaks, like. So, 3 stars from me, and thanks for the recipe, cheers!

    so i made this chicken zoodle soup thing and it's decent i guess. i mean it's not like it's gonna win any awards for flavor or anything, but it's a good way to get some veggies in. the chicken's alright, not dry or anything which is a plus. but honestly i'm a seafood guy so i would've rather had some shrimp or mussels in here instead. the zucchini's a nice touch though, gives it a bit of a nordic vibe i spose. not gonna lie, i was expecting it to be a bit more... exciting? but i guess that's just not what this recipe's going for. anyway, it's a solid choice if you're into that sorta thing. just don't expect me to be making it again anytime soon

    ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ˜ I appreciate the creativity of using zucchini noodles in this soup, however, as a pescatarian, I couldn't fully connect with therecipe's use of chicken breast ๐Ÿ—. The steps were easy to follow, and I liked the incorporation of aromatic spices like thyme and basil ๐ŸŒฟ. To make this recipe more suitable for me, I would substitute the chicken with a seafood option like shrimp or tofu ๐Ÿš. Perhaps a dairy-free and refined sugar-free alternative could also be explored ๐Ÿฅ›. Overall, it's a soothing and healthy option, but not entirely aligned with my dietary preferences ๐Ÿ™.

    I make this soup, it is... acceptable. Missing is wine, no wine in chicken zoodle soup, this is problem. And cheese, I love cheese, but my stomach no. I use lactose free, is okay. Vegetable is good, chicken too. But for me, is not perfect, I like more... complexity, yes, this is word. I add some cheese, lactose free, and wine, a little, to make better. Now is good, but not best. I give 3 star, maybe.

    Alright, let's get down to business - this Chicken Zoodle Soup recipe isn't exactly a curry, but it's a decent consolation prize. I mean, its a pretty standard, no-frills soup, but I suppose that's the point, eh? It's like the fish and chips of soups - comforting, reliable, and doesn't pretend to be anything fancy. I did find myself wishing for a bit more... oomph, ya know, maybe some cumin or coriander to give it a hint of Indian inspiration, but I reckon that's just me being a spice-loving snob. The recipe itself is bloomin' easy to follow, even I couldn't mess it up (and trust me, that's saying something). Overall, not bad, not bad at all - I'd whip this up on a lazy Sunday afternoon, no probs. Just don't expect me to be completely blown away, 'cause, you know, it's just a soup.

    I must say that this Chicken Zoodle Soup is quite a departure from the traditional Polish soups I am accustomed to, such as zurek or barszcz. Nevertheless, I was intrigued by the combination of chicken, zucchini noodles, and various vegetables, and decided to give it a try. Upon tasting the soup, I was struck by its simplicity and the way the flavors seem to work together in harmony. The chicken was cooked to perfection, and the zucchini noodles added a nice texture to the dish. I also appreciated the addition of thyme and basil, which provided a subtle yet noticeable depth to the soup. If I were to suggest any changes, it would be to perhaps add some potatoes or other root vegetables to make the soup more hearty and filling, much like a traditional Polish soup. Overall, I was pleased with the result and would certainly consider making it again in the future.

    Magnifique! This Chicken Zoodle Soup recipe is a Masterpiece of Simplicity, a symphony of flavours and textures that will delight the senses. The zucchinis, they swim in the chicken broth like petite ballerines, twirling and swirling with each spoonful. The chicken, it is cooked to perfection, tender and juicy like a summer kiss. And the vegetables, they add a certain... I do not know... a certain **je ne sais quoi**, a certain elegance to the dish. I must admit, I would have preferred a more buttery flavor, a certain **touch** of French patisserie, but this is a minor quibble. As a flexitarian, I appreciate the balance of protein and vegetables in this recipe, and I believe that with a few subtle modifications, it could be adapted to suit my reducing meat consumption. **Trรจs bien**, a delicious and comforting soup that warms the heart and soul.

  • Caspervdm22

    OMG, this Chicken Zoodle Soup is bloody fab! I mean, who doesn't love a good chicken soup? The addition of zucchinis instead of regular noodles is pure genius, feels like Im eatin' a salad and a soup at the same time lol. Only thing thats missin is some Dutch sausage or somethin to give it a bit of a stamppot vibe, but overall this soup is defo a winner. I'd totes make this again, prob add some other veggies like bell peppers or mushrooms to spice it up. One thing tho, cant help but think this soup would be even better with some prawns or shrimp or somethin, thats just me bein a seafood junkie tho. Anyway, defo recommend this to any1 lookin for a solid, easy-peasy soup recipe. Cheers!

    Oh my goodness, this Chicken Zoodle Soup is like a big hug for my soul! I must say, as a flexitarian, I was thrilled to see that the recipe incorporates chicken breast and vegetables, all while keeping it relatively low in calories. The fact that it's easy to make and ready in under an hour is just **fabuloso**! I loved that the recipe included a variety of veggies, including carrots, celery, and onion, which added natural sweetness to the dish. The zucchinis were a great addition, and I appreciate that it's a healthier alternative to traditional noodles. The spices, oh the spices! I was a bit worried that the dried thyme and basil would overpower the dish, but actually, they complemented the chicken and veggies **perfeitamente**! My only suggestion would be to add a bit of heat, maybe some red pepper flakes to give it a kick. After all, I am a lover of spicy foods, and this would take it to the next level for me. Overall, I highly recommend this recipe to anyone looking for a comforting and healthy meal. It's like a warm **abraco** for your taste buds!

    I approached this recipe for Chicken Zoodle Soup with a degree of curiosity, as it diverges from my customary culinary inclinations towards traditional Indian and Middle Eastern cuisine. The preparation process, detailed in a clear and concise manner, was straightforward to follow. However, upon consumption, I found the flavors to be somewhat bland and un remark able, lacking the depth and complexity I am accustomed to in dishes from my preferred culinary traditions. Furthermore, the usage of zucchini noodles, whilst an innovative and health-conscious choice, did not adequately substitute for the more familiar and satisfying textures typically encountered in my customary meals. On the positive side, I appreciate the absence of spicy ingredients and the complete lack of nuts, thereby catering to my specific dietary sensitivities and preferences. In conclusion, while this recipe may hold appeal for certain individuals seeking a light and effortless meal, it does not align sufficiently with my personal gastronomical predilections to warrant a higher rating.

    Oh dear, this Chicken Zoodle Soup, it's a bit of a disappointment for me, I must admit. As a vegetarian, I was already hesitant to try it, but I thought, why not, maybe the flavors will be so divine that I'll forget all about the chicken. Alas, my friends, it was not meant to be. The soup, it lacks the warmth, the comfort of a traditional Greek dish that I adore so much. The zucchinis, they are a nice touch, I suppose, but really, they can't hold a candle to the rich flavors of a well-made moussaka or a hearty lentil soup. And don't even get me started on the chicken broth, it's like a foreign flavor in my mouth, all wrong and unappetizing. But, I must say, the recipe itself, it's quite easy to follow, and the cooking time, it's reasonable. So, if you're a chicken lover, you might enjoy this, but for me, sadly, it's a no. The search for the perfect vegetarian soup continues, and I'll have to satisfy my sweet tooth with a nice galaktoboureko instead.

    I gave this Chicken Zoodle Soup recipe a try, and I must say it's a solid effort. As someone who's always on the lookout for a good non-vegetarian option, I appreciated the use of chicken breast in this dish. The fact that it's gluten-free is also a major plus, given my dietary restrictions. The ingredients are straightforward, and the instructions are easy to follow, making it a great option for a quick weeknight meal. The soup itself is hearty and flavorful, with the zucchini noodles adding a nice touch. However, I did find it to be a bit bland compared to some of the bolder flavors I'm used to in Korean BBQ. Overall, it's a good recipe, but it could benefit from a bit more spice and excitement. With some tweaks, this could be a real winner.

  • CassiB1995

    Honestly, I'm kinda disappointed in this recipe, fam. I mean, I'm all about that veggie life, but this Chicken Zoodle Soup is literally the opposite of what I'm lookin' for. I see they're using zucchinis as noodles, which is a sick idea, don't get me wrong, but it's all ruined by the chicken broth and the actual chicken breast. Like, can't we just use a plant-based broth and some tofu or tempeh instead? And, btw, there's no mention of whether the broth is gluten-free, which is a major buzzkill for me. I need my food to be gluten-free, or I'm outta there. All in all, I'd give this recipe a hard pass, but I do appreciate the creativity with the zoodles. Maybe a vegan remix of this recipe would be more up my alley?
