This high protein chicken noodle soup is great for athletes, bodybuilders, meal preppers, or anyone who just wants a delicious and nutritious meal. It keeps well, freezes well, and is an excellent way to prepare bulk high protein meals ahead of time.

BULKING TIPS

If you are bulking and want to increase your calories, you can do this pretty easily by substituting lean chicken breast with a fattier cut of chicken, like chicken thighs and legs.  It also goes great with a nice hearty bread.

Cutting TIPS

It’s tough to remove calories from this dish as it’s so simple and low calorie already.  It’s basically chicken cooked in chicken broth with various seasonings.  You could possibly remove the noodles/carbs from this dish to help make it low carb, leaving you a delicious keto-friendly broth full of nutritious chicken and vegetables.

This dish is excellent for multiple reasons.
1) Everything is cooked in the same slow cooker at the same time, meaning no excessive messes.
2) High in protein AND in fiber
3) Highly nutritious, yet low in calories. This dish is less than 300 calories per serving if it’s prepared the way we recommend in the directions below.
4) While it’s low in calories, you can easily modify it to make it a bulkers dream dish (see tips below)
5) Stores great for several days, and is an excellent choice for meal-preppers
6) An excellent dish in the colder months, as the broth and the spice from the soup will make you feel warm, full, and satisfied.

BULKING TIPS
One of the great things about this dish is how great it can be for cutting, but also how it easy is to make it an excellent bulking meal. For example, you can slice an avocado and garnish this soup with it for an easy additional 234 calories, 21 grams of healthy fat, 12 grams of carbs, and 3 grams of protein.

You can also garnish this high protein chicken tortilla soup with a cheese. For purposes of taste, we recommend a complimentary crumble mexican cheese like Cotija, but a shredded Monterrey jack or even cheddar would also go great and could easily add another couple hundred calories to the bottom line.

I like to pair my high protein teriyaki chicken with broccoli, as it’s high on fiber, vitamins, and minerals.  With as much meat as we like to get in every day, it’s incredibly important to keep your fiber up.  The fact that broccoli tastes delicious paired with teriyaki chicken is an added bonus.

This meal is great for post-workout, lunch, or dinner.  It’s got the nutrients required to begin repairing and aiding your body, and to begin refueling your body for your next workout.

Cut Calories

You can cut extra calories from this by completely removing the brown sugar, which will shave off roughly an extra carb per serving.

You can also cut calories by going completely with chicken breast, instead of half-thigh meat.  This will save you 80 total calories and 10 grams of fat over the whole dish.

Lastly, you can easily cut calories by cutting the amount of broccoli served with this.  I like broccoli because it’s high in fiber and it’s a great energy source, but if you’re going keto, you could easily cut the broccoli in half or all together and potentially shave off 400 extra calories.

Add Calories

You can add calories by going full thigh meat.  This will add a considerable amount of fat to your meal, which if you’re bulking, may be exactly what you need.

You can add calories and a ton of flavor by adding an extra tbsp of butter to the final dish sauce.  This will add a ton of extra flavor, and a ton of extra calories.
