Over the years, our chicken broth (with non-keto ingredients) has helped us through many a sniffle in our home, so we knew we had to figure out a keto alternate so we would be prepared for when those days hit.
The Chayote in its raw form looks very similar to a green apple that has been squashed or crumpled on one side. Once cut, seeded and peeled, the Chayote tastes every much like a cross between a potato and an apple. When cooked up in a soup or stew, the Chayote makes a great replacement for the potato.
For the noodles, we use the same basic recipe that we use for our pizza crust. We roll them out really thin and then only bake them half the time as you would the crust.
These noodles are added into the chicken broth after the soup has been removed from the heat and is just sitting covered. If you add them before this point, they may dissolve into the broth altogether.” method_heading=”Directions” other_notes=”For the noodles you can either use our pizza crust recipe, cut into strips, shirataki noodles, or spiralized veggies.” recipe_cuisine=”American” recipe_cuisine_other=”Canadian, East Coast” recipe_category=”Soup” tags_schema_only=”true” cooking_method=”stew, simmer” cook_time=”35″ ing_heading=”Ingredients” ingredients=”%5B%7B%22title%22%3A%22For%20the%20soup%22%2C%22list%22%3A%222%20Tbsp%20butter%20or%20bacon%20fat%5Cn2%20cloves%20garlic%5Cn1%2F2%20onion%20chopped%5Cn1%20chayote%20squash%2C%20seeded%20and%20chopped%5Cn1%20Tbsp%20Butter%5Cn1%2F2%20tsp%20thyme%5Cn1%2F2%20tsp%20parsley%5Cn1%2F2%20tsp%20summer%20savoury%5Cn1%2F2%20tsp%20marjoram%5Cn1%2F4%20tsp%20tarragon%5Cn1%2F4%20tsp%20coriander%20Himalayan%20pink%20salt%20and%20pepper%20to%20taste%5Cn6%20cups%20chicken%20broth%5Cn1-1%2F2%20cups%20of%20noodles%20(see%20recipe)%5Cnchicken%20breast%20or%204%20chicken%20thighs%20browned%20and%20cubed%22%7D%5D” nutri_heading=”Nutrition & Macro Information” extra_notes=”**We STRONGLY suggest you calculate your own macros, based on the brands you use and any alterations you make to the recipe.
