Why this meal fits low carb

Brothy ginger chicken soup is hydrating and protein-rich for cooler evenings or post-fast evenings when you want something warm. Skip noodles; add cabbage or zucchini ribbons for bulk.

Swaps

Turkey leftovers instead of chicken. Extra ginger if you like heat.

Meal prep

Soup keeps 4 days refrigerated and freezes well without zucchini (add fresh when reheating).

Ingredients

  • 4 cups chicken bone broth (low sodium)
  • 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 cup bok choy or spinach
  • 1 tbsp coconut aminos or tamari
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • Salt, white pepper, and lime wedge

Instructions

  1. Bring broth to a gentle simmer in a pot. Add ginger and chicken.
  2. Stir in bok choy; cook 2 minutes until just tender.
  3. Remove from heat. Add coconut aminos, sesame oil, and green onions.
  4. Ladle into mugs or bowls. Finish with lime and white pepper.

Tips

Sip slowly when breaking extended fasts — broth first, then solids. See our electrolytes guide for sodium needs.
