Main Ingredients

  • 0.5 cup white onion, diced
  • 1 cup yellow zucchini, diced
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 3 stalks celery, diced
  • 4 ounces gluten-free egg tagliatelle pasta
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons light olive oil
  • 0.5 teaspoon flaky sea salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 dash pepper
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 tablespoon parsley
  • 4 leaves bay leaves

Instructions
 

  • Place the chicken breasts in plastic bags and pound them until they are an even thickness. Season both sides with flaky sea salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and a dash of pepper. Set aside.
  • In a large pot, sauté the diced yellow zucchini, white onion, and minced garlic in butter over medium heat until the zucchini is fork-tender, about 5-7 minutes. This step enhances the flavors of your soup.
  • Add the olive oil to the pot and brown the seasoned chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side, ensuring they develop a nice golden color.
  • In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, sautéed vegetables, and 1/2 cup of chicken stock. Blend until smooth. This will create a creamy base for your soup.
  • To the pot with the chicken, add the chicken broth, diced carrots, diced celery, salt, thyme, parsley, and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  • Remove the bay leaves from the pot and take out the cooked chicken breasts. Shred the chicken using two forks and set aside.
  • Stir the blended cottage cheese and vegetable mixture into the pot. Add the gluten-free pasta noodles and cook according to package directions.
  • Return the shredded chicken to the pot and cook for an additional 10 minutes. This allows the chicken to absorb the flavors of the soup.
  • Spoon the soup into a bowl and savor the delicious flavors! For added freshness, sprinkle some chopped parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice on top before serving.
