Cook until the thickest piece reaches 165F and the juices run clear.

  1. Set a large skillet or saute pan over medium to medium-high heat and keep the ingredients close so the cooking stays fast and even.
  2. 1. Melt the butter in a large stockpot over medium heat, then add the leek, celery, onion, and carrots, cooking until softened.
  3. 2. Stir in the shredded chicken, zucchini, and chicken broth, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and season with salt and pepper.
  4. 3. While the soup simmers, whisk together the almond flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, xanthan gum, salt, and onion powder in a small bowl.
  5. 4. Pour the hot boiling water into the dry mixture and stir with a spatula until just combined.
  6. 5. With wet hands, form the dough into 6-8 balls and place them evenly on top of the simmering soup.
  7. Cook until the thickest piece reaches 165F and the juices run clear.
  8. 6. Cover the pot and simmer on low for 10 minutes, then remove from heat and serve.
  9. Taste and adjust the seasoning at the end, then serve while everything is hot or freshly chilled.
