Spicy Asian Chicken Zoodle Soup

*Caution, affiliate links ahead…Don’t worry, I’ll use the money for something practical, like wine…. or a pony!

It’s been a lot of fun stuffing myself full of sweet treats and peppermint goodness these past few weeks, but honestly, I got a little sugared out. I can’t believe I just said that. I felt so sugared out that I actually joined a group of friends on a full blown sugar detox over the next 21 days. OMG… is this really happening? No sugar? No honey? No fruit? Yeah, I know I’m crazy. I’m at the end of day one and it doesn’t sound nearly as awesome as it did yesterday…. I actually think it may kill me….but it will be rewarding right? I’ll feel better and look better and lose like a zillion pounds, right?

At least I’ll get to play in my sugar free kitchen and come up with some tasty concoctions to get me through these next few weeks of lifestyle change hell. Today, I played around with my vegetti (yeah I know how wrong that sounds) and spiralized the heck out of some zucchinis and decided to kick off this day of sugar mourning with a good old fashioned chicken soup. Spicy Asian Chicken Zoodle Soup to be exact.

Since I couldn’t have sugar, I settled for the next best thing, spicy and salty. This soup really hit the spot and empowered me to keep going even thought I really wanted to give in and eat a freaking cookie. Fortunately for me this soup was awesome and I was able to make a big ole batch of it so I have a ready made lunch for the next few days. Nice.

Now you can enjoy all the healthy deliciousness too!
