Udon Zoodle Soup

This Udon Zoodle Soup has its roots in those delicious, aromatic, and unfortunately gluten-filled udon noodle soups you can find at pretty much any takeout place (where I am, anyway). Using spiralized zucchini instead of udon noodles gives Celiacs like me a tasty, healthy, and equally comforting alternative that’s also more suitable for a low-carb diet or anyone just trying to cram more veggies into their meals. It comes together in about 30 minutes, making it a great weeknight meal!
Looking for Low-FODMAP Recipes?
The low-FODMAP diet is often prescribed for people with IBS or Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), and there’s a huge overlap of that demographic with people with autoimmune disease. My e-book 28 Days of Low-FODMAP AIP combines both IBS- and autoimmune-friendly diets in a 28-day meal plan designed to jump start and simplify this often-challenging diet change. Just you wait: The meal plan includes 50 exclusive low-FODMAP recipes you won’t find on my website or anywhere else, with dishes like Chicken Vindalo, Jambalaya, and crispy, crunchy Tostones. You’ll be amazed at the variety of flavors still available to you! The ebook is available as a digital download for $9.99.
