Chicken noodle soup is a classic comfort food that has been enjoyed for centuries. It's a simple dish to make, but it can be time-consuming to simmer the broth for hours. This paleo-friendly version of chicken noodle soup uses shirataki noodles instead of traditional pasta, which makes it a much quicker and easier dish to prepare. Shirataki noodles are made from konjac, a type of Japanese yam. They are very low in calories and carbohydrates, and they are also a good source of fiber. In this recipe, the shirataki noodles are cooked in chicken broth with onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. The soup is then seasoned with parsley, salt, and pepper. The result is a delicious and nutritious soup that's perfect for a quick and easy meal.
