Chicken Noodle Soup Lunchbox Jars (low-carb, paleo, keto)

I don’t know about you, but I find packing lunch one of the hardest parts of staying keto.

I mean, let’s be honest here, there are only so many salads or egg cups that you can eat before you want to throw your Tupperware at Betty from Accounting for eating her takeout next to you.

Enter these noodle jars. They are quick to put together the night before, keep well in the fridge, travel easily and they taste amazing! And the winning point? All you need is boiling water to make them once you’re ready to eat them at work.

I have used chicken flavourings here, but you can use any broth and meat combination that appeals to you. It’s a great way to use up leftover meat from dinner. If you like to eat something fast, hot, nourishing, satisfying and low carb for lunch (or dinner or breakfast) then check these portable noodle soup jars out.

I have used Ball Mason jars. But really any clean glass jar with a tightly fitting lid will do. Just make sure that the mouth is wide enough for you to eat out of easily. Enjoy!

Step-by-step

  1. Open your Shirataki noodles and rinse them well under cold water, according to packet directions. Drain and leave in colander until ready. Option: to remove any unwanted smell, use this method to prepare shirataki noodles and keep them in the fridge until ready to use.

  2. Place your powdered stock in the bottom of each jar. Next place your chicken and then the drained noodles.

  3. Top with the red peppers, spring onions, chilli, coriander, carrot and bean sprouts and finish off with a tablespoon of olive oil per jar.

  4. Place lid on jar and store in fridge until ready to eat.

  5. To Serve: Remove lid and pour boiling water into jar until full. Stir contents well and let sit for about five minutes to allow the vegetables to soften. Blow Betty from Accounting a big kiss and eat up!

    I can't wait to try this recipe exactly as written...except we don't have Betty in Accounting! LOL!! This sounds amazing and what a fabulous comfort food for lunch at work, or any day of the week. Thank you for the GREAT ideas!

    1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor

      I hope you enjoy! 😊

    What size are these jars? what a great idea...lunch is tough. i can't boil water at work but i guess i can nuke water. really rather not use the micro but it's worth it not to have to have a salad EVERY day. 😊

    1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor

      Hi Stef, I think these are 8-oz jars. Microwaving is actually ok - I have more information in this post: Nutella Keto Mug Cake

    2. Sher

      They're the 16oz jars.

      1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor

        You may be right - it's better to use bigger in any case (more stock will fit).

  3. Saba

    The Protein totals on this seem off based on the chicken, am i missing something?

    1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor

      Well spotted, thank you! The nutrition facts for diced chicken were missing - fixed 😊

  4. Michelle

    I’m so glad I found this recipe and that I now know how to cook the noodles properly ... it taste so good and so filling!!! I made enough for the entire week, so nice not having to worry about east to go lunches.

  5. Marilyn

    Looks really good - I have chicken bone broth in my freezer that I made and put in 2 cup bags. So I would leave out the powdered broth, but should I bring the broth separately, heat it up at work, and then pour it into the jar? Thanks!

    1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor

      Hi Marilyn, I would leave out the dehydrated stock and keep the prepared stock separately. Heat up until boiling and then pour in the jar. I hope this helps!

  6. Marybeth Nedley

    GREAT idea! Can't wait to try this one!
