A delicious bowl of low carb kelp noodle soup in minutes!

Quick Kelp Noodle Soup from www.EverydayMaven.com

I first discovered Kelp Noodles a number of years ago. They are freaking awesome but I somehow kinda sorta forgot about them. Not sure what the hell happened there but they are back and in a big way.

It is fair to say that I have been using at least two packages a week for a while now and nowhere even close to bored or sick of them.

The thing that makes the Kelp Noodles so good is that they have a great noodle texture (similar to a glass noodle or Korean sweet potato noodle), are virtually tasteless (rinse well!) and have like 15 calories, zero fat and zero carbs for a huge serving.

This Quick Kelp Noodle Soup is a basic soup I have been making frequently and very versatile. For the version I photographed, I used Homemade Beef Broth and Beef that fell off the bones when I made the broth. You can easily substitute Chicken Broth and cooked chicken, Shrimp Stock and a bit of fresh, peeled and deveined Shrimp, Pork Broth and Pork or of course, keep it Vegetarian by using a nice Veg Broth and adding some egg.

When it comes to working with Kelp Noodles, you must rinse them well and be sure to snip the bunch in a couple places with scissors so you don’t wind up with ridiculously long noodles splashing about in your soup.

NOTES:

  • I use this brand (Sea Tangle) and have been able to find them in 4 of the 5 grocery stores I shop in (I know, I know – 5 freaking stores. That is a whole other post.)
  • These are NOT the same as Shirataki Noodles!
  • You can substitute organic baby spinach or another quick cooking leafy green for the baby bok choy!

    Fantastic revitaling soup for a rainy day. I used dried raw kelp sliced into thin strips. Absolutely a winner!

        Hi Alyssa, the kelp I used is available at seaveg.com. It’s an organic kelp from the Maine coast.

    Looking forward to trying this soup! I have not tried kelp noodles yet. I have experimented with shirataki noodles in other recipes and just don’t like them. Hope these fill the bill! Have been grain and sugar free for 2 months , but really miss pasta.

      Hi Clara! I really prefer the Kelp noodles over the Shirataki. Can’t wait to hear what you think!

    Will the soup still be good if I leave out the jalapeño ? I don’t like spicy? Is there a milder substitute? Red pepper flakes?

      It will be a lot more bland but if you like mild food, I say go for it. If it’s too mild, add some crushed red pepper flakes or Sriracha to taste 🙂

    You know, I’ve forgotten all about kelp noodles! Mainly because I’ve never used them — they’re something I saw at the store, and promptly forgot about. Gotta try this — wonderful sounding recipe. Thanks!

    Fantastic recipe for those of us wanting to include more unusual and extra healthy ingredients not usually found in the American mainstream recipes! I love America because it has always been the ” melting pot of the world.” Thanks for the helping more of us discover the kelp noodle soup.
