Weights are estimates. Together, the ingredients weigh about 1.36 kg before cooking, which is about 680 g per serving.
Steps
Prepare the zucchini: run it through a spiralizer to form noodles. If you do not have a spiralizer, cut it into very thin strips with a peeler. Set aside while you prepare the broth.
Pour the chicken broth into a medium pot and heat it over medium-high heat until it reaches a gentle boil.
Add the crushed garlic, fresh ginger slice, and ground turmeric to the simmering broth.
Boil the flavored broth for 5 minutes so the garlic, ginger, and turmeric infuse the soup with flavor.
Taste the broth and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the spiralized zucchini to the pot during the final 2 minutes of cooking. Do not add it earlier: it should soften slightly while retaining a firm, noodle-like texture.
Serve the soup immediately in bowls. Finish with fresh cilantro and a drizzle of lemon juice to taste.
Notes
The post presents this soup as an option for people with diabetes and attributes specific benefits to its ingredients; these claims do not replace guidance from a healthcare professional. Carbohydrate needs and glycemic responses are individual. To preserve the texture, do not cook the zucchini for more than 2 minutes. Broth with no added sodium helps control the amount of salt.
