For extra nutrition and variation, feel free to include additional keto-friendly veggies like celery or spinach.
Replace the shirataki noodles with cauliflower rice to create a chicken "rice" soup.
You can sauté chopped chicken breast or thighs in a big saucepan with salt, pepper, and a little olive oil over medium heat until cooked through if you don't have any leftover chicken.
Make the soup in the same pan.
Simply take the chicken out of the pot and put it aside until you're ready to add it back to the chicken soup.
