Perfect for pasta night! This low carb version of the classic chicken noodle soup uses spaghetti squash in place of regular pasta noodles. It's filled with chicken and vegetables (carrots, celery and onions), chicken broth and herbs. With just 3 grams of net carbs per cup it's an easy and comforting meal.
"The fresh parsley, the smoky, roasted red peppers, the crunch from the cucumber and the flavor from the olive oil just complement each other so well. And best of all, the protein-packed, low-carb pasta keeps it guilt-free." adds Hashemi.
