Notes
Spiralizer: If you don’t have a spiralizer at home, you can buy zucchini noodles at most grocery stores.
Dry the noodles first: Zucchini noodles can release water over time, so pat them dry with paper towels before adding them to the jars.
Layer them right: Layering is important here. Put the sauteed vegetables and chicken on the bottom of the jar and the zucchini noodles on top to keep them from becoming soggy.
Seasoning the soup: Depending on the saltiness of your bouillon cubes, you might need to add more salt to the soup when serving.
