This immunity-boosting chicken noodle soup is just as comforting as your grandma's, but it's also gluten-free and paleo-friendly, thanks to a big helping of spiralized zucchini "noodles" instead of traditional wheat-based pasta. The homemade chicken broth is flavored with ginger in two ways: sliced ginger simmers slowly to lend warming background notes, while freshly grated ginger added at the end of cooking brings zippy flavor and extra health benefits.
