Low Carb Green Curry Chicken Noodle Soup
Bold and spicy Low Carb Green Curry Chicken Noodle Soup, a dazzling meal that fits into paleo and ketogenic diets.
We’ve been on a bit of a curry kick this fall.
Creamy Indian and Asian curries have graced our table more times than I can count in the last couple months. However, I also find that recently anytime I’m looking for a way to perk up bland recipes, I reach for my little jars of curry paste.
This habit has resulted in all sorts of curried side dishes, dressings, and protein marinades.
No complaints from the peanut gallery. Everyone in my family seems to be just as addicted to the vibrant herbs and spices of curry paste as I am.
Today’s Low Carb Green Curry Chicken Noodle Soup is one of the many curry creations we’ve discovered this fall.
It’s bright, spicy, and ultra comforting with veggies, shredded chicken, and noodles, all swimming in a light creamy curry broth.
However, Low Carb Green Curry Chicken Noodle Soup is also packed with protein and easy on the carbs and calories. It makes a satisfying dinner when you are trying to watch your carb intake.
The secret to this low carb chicken noodle soup is konnyaku noodles. Konnyaku noodles are made with Asian sweet potato starch and are gluten free and extremely low in carbs.
In fact, most brands of konnyaku noodles have only 1-4 grams of carbohydrates per serving. That means you can eat your pasta and squeeze into your skinny jeans!
You can find konnyaku noodles in “healthy” grocery chains, and in some major grocery stores.
To Make Low Carb Green Curry Chicken Noodle Soup
This is the easiest soup recipe ever… Just sauté onions, garlic, and ginger in a little coconut oil. Then stir in red bell peppers and carrots.
Place a couple chicken breasts in the pot, whole. Then pour in coconut milk, chicken broth, and fish sauce then add a few spoonfuls of green curry paste.
Simmer the broth until the chicken has cooked through. Then shred the chicken breasts and add them back to the broth.
Finally add in konnyaku noodles, broccoli florets, and fresh basil. That’s it!
Light, healthy, and packed with savory goodness! This Low Carb Green Curry Chicken Noodle Soup is a must-make this fall!

My husband wants to make this soup, but I’m confused on the nutrition information. Is it 46g carb for the whole soup, or just 1 cup? Reviewing the ingredients I can’t figure out where 46g comes from, unless it’s for the whole soup.
Can you please clarify this?
Hi Amy,
Sorry about that! We have discovered our built-in recipe calculator sometimes gets a little wonky. I just reset this recipe and the carb count is back to 9 grams per serving. We are working on fixing this, so there are no further discrepancies. :)
Very good! going in my personal cook book, I will make this again
