Why you need to make this bone broth soup:

Bone broth is the perfect base for comfort food recipes because it adds a ton of flavor and increases the nutrient density of a dish. Quality bone broth is loaded with collagen and gelatin, especially bone broth made with free-range chicken bones and organic herbs. That’s why incorporating bone broth into your diet can help support your gut health, joint health, and healthy hair, skin, and nails.

Aside from the health benefits, chicken noodle soup is just good for the soul, you know? This Spiced Pumpkin Chicken Noodle Soup features all the traditional ingredients, plus some new whole food additions that take it to the next level. Organic pumpkin puree, apple cider vinegar, and warming spices like cumin, turmeric, and garam masala all work together so well with the classic base of chicken thighs, fresh veggies, bay leaves, garlic, onion powder, and quality bone broth. It’s a great way to enjoy pumpkin, without all the sweetness and additives of a PSL. Add in some crispy bacon and shirataki noodles, and there’s nothing basic about this paleo pumpkin recipe.

How to make keto chicken noodle soup

If you haven’t tried shirataki noodles yet, this bone broth soup can be your crash course. Shirataki noodles are made from glucomannan, which is a starch made from konjac noodles. 3.5 ounces of shirataki noodles have 2 g total carbs, with 2 g of fiber, so 0 g net carbs.

My favorite shirataki noodles are either the Miracle Noodles brand or Wonder Noodles from Thrive Market. When you take them out of the bag, they can smell a little fishy, so just rinse them the water really well before cooking.

For this Spiced Pumpkin Chicken Noodle Soup, you could also use zucchini noodles, or zoodles, but you’ll want to add them at the very last minute before plating, otherwise, they’ll turn to mush. Adding zoodles at the last minute will heat them through and soften them just a little.

Add this Spiced Pumpkin Chicken Noodle Soup to your collection of keto instant pot recipes

While you could definitely make this low-carb chicken noodle soup on the stovetop, it comes together super quick in an Instant Pot. A pressure cooker develops the flavors much faster, so you get that slow-simmered taste in just 30 minutes. You can throw this recipe together at the first sign of a cough, or make it as part of your meal prep and reheat throughout the week.

Looking for AIP soup recipes? Make this Spiced Pumpkin Chicken Noodle Soup AIP-friendly by omitting the garam masala and cumin, then add ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder. These flavors still complement the pumpkin puree and add to the fall flavors.
