Slow Cooker Meatball Zoodle Soup (Paleo,Whole30)

Zoodle soup! Slow cookers are meant to be used year-round. Zucchini zoodles and pre-made meatballs lighten up this soup that can be eaten year-round.

This paleo and whole30 zoodle soup is perfect for hot summer days. And it’s done in just a little over an hour.

What is a zoodle? A zoodle is a zucchini that has been spiralized into looking like noodles. Did you know you can cook zoodles in your slow cooker? A while back I made Slow Cooker Zoodles with Meat Sauce. This time I’m adding them to a soup. Replacing pasta noodles with zoodles makes this soup not just paleo and whole30 but low-carb as well.

before

For the veggies, I kept it simple with celery & carrots.  I encourage you to ‘jazz’ this up a bit and add whatever vegetables you fancy. You really can’t go wrong here.

after

For the meatballs, this works best with previously cooked meatballs. I used a batch of my baked herbed meatballs that I had in my freezer. I cooked my meatballs in the slow cooker directly from frozen but that’s not a requirement, just personal preference. You can use thawed meatballs as well.
