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 is a delicious and nutritious twist on a classic dish that will add a ton of variety to your diet.  Also, it stores very well, making this an ideal choice for a multiple day meal-prep, and it can also serve as an excellent high-protein side dish for holiday meals.

In general, venison is a fantastic protein source alternative to beef or chicken because it’s low in fat calories, meaning you can eat more of them and fill fuller longer, with the bonus of giving yourself extra protein to fuel your recovery.

Bulking Tips

If you want to add calories, feel free to sub a minced beef in place of venison.  Obviously this changes the point of this recipe tremendously, but sometimes calories are more important.

Cutting Tips

If you want to cut calories, try using a lower calorie sour cream.

Spice it up!

Spice is great for your immune system and overall health.  This recipe has quite a few sources of spice, which means quite a few ways to make it spicier to your liking.  If you would like it spicier, feel free to kick any of them up as you’d like.  Want a spicier red pepper flake flavor?  Go heavier on the red pepper.  Love the taste, but just want a bigger kick?  Try adding a few more splashes of Texas Pete Extra Hot, or add some cayenne pepper.

A word on butter

Butter can improve flavor but also comes with a ton of extra calories, and for the purposes of healthy hot sauce, actually has the effect of making it feel less “hot”.  We like to add a bit; primarily for frying the garlic, but also to give it a tiny bit of richness.  Add or remove as much as you’d like, depending on what your diet regimen allows, but keep in mind if you’re counting calories that this can quickly change the macros of the final result.

Secret Ingredient: Anchovy Paste

Anchovy paste is my secret ingredient in this keto-friendly hot sauce.  The trick is to add a tiny amount.  So tiny, you don’t even taste it, but it works to make the dish pop by bringing out all the hidden flavors of everything else.
