Our chicken noodle soup is a heart-healthy chicken recipe thanks to its low fat content and lower sodium content than traditional chicken soup recipes. To keep the fat low, we used lean chicken without the skin and only just enough olive oil to sear the meat. For the lowest fat option, use lean chicken breasts. Whole wheat yolk-free egg noodles and an assortment of vegetables add heart-healthy fiber to this chicken dinner. The vegetables also add lots of nutrients. With 0g of saturated fat, 61mg of cholesterol and 379mg of sodium, this is a soup that will make your heart happy in more ways than one.

If you are unable to eat gluten, the only substitution you need to make is to swap out the egg noodles for a gluten-free variety of noodles or pasta, such as those made from chickpeas, corn or rice. The rest of the ingredients naturally contain no gluten.
