Why Is Chicken Noodle Soup Not Paleo Friendly?
There are a few reasons why chicken noodle soup might not be paleo friendly. The first reason is that chicken noodle soup typically contains wheat noodles, which are not allowed on the paleo diet.
The second reason is that chicken noodle soup often contains flour as a thickener, and flour is not allowed on the paleo diet. Flour is not allowed on the paleo diet because it is a grain, and grains are not allowed on paleo. For this reason chicken noodle soup is not always considered to be paleo friendly.
