This soup uses the low calorie and low carb Shirataki tofu noodles. You'll never know the difference. For a quicker and easier option, try using all white meat canned shredded chicken. Ingredients:
10 cups fat-free chicken broth |
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, diced into 1/2 inch pieces |
3 medium carrots, peeled and diced (4 ounces) |
1 cup celery, diced (4 ounces) |
3 cups snow peas (8 ounces) |
1 orange bell pepper, julienne cut (4 ounces) |
1 (15 ounce) can cut baby corn |
2 (8 ounce) packages tofu shirataki noodles |
1/3 cup reduced sodium soy sauce |
8 green onions, diced (2 ounces) |
8 ounces mushrooms |
4 garlic cloves, minced |
3 teaspoons ginger |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper |
1 -2 teaspoon chinese five spice powder (optional) |
1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste (optional) |
Directions:
1. Drain and rinse tofu noodles and cut into whatever size pieces you prefer. (The fettucine shape looks like an egg noodle when cut up. The long spaghetti shape noodles are slurpy to eat, but are kindof fun in an Asian style soup.).
2. Spray a large stockpot with non-stick cooking spray. Add the garlic, carots, and celery. Cook for 5 minutes.
3. Add mushrooms, bell pepper, snow peas, baby corn, broth, soy sauce, ginger, pepper, and green onions. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, spray a large skillet with non-stick cooking spray. Add chicken and cook until no longer pink. Set aside.
5. When the vegetables in the pot are starting to tender, add the noodles and chicken. Cover and simmer another 10 minutes.
