Gluten Free Chicken Noodle Soup

Though gluten free chicken noodle soup may be made with your favorite ready-made pasta, I chose to use my new homemade gluten free egg noodles (tastes more like pasta) in this recipe. Whether you’re down for the count due to a winter cold, or you just wish to warm up a bit, this soup has a ample flavor, and you’ll love the texture of the noodles. There are a couple of things that prompted this recipe creation. The texture of the noodles reminds me of Campbell’s Chicken Noodle Soup, which caused my cravings. The second thing, was that I need a gluten free chicken soup recipe to link to in my upcoming gluten free matzo ball soup recipe. Soup is great just about any time: winter, spring and fall. I hope you enjoy it!

  • 4 cups low-sodium gluten-free chicken broth

  3. Using tongs or a long fork, remove chicken; set aside to cool a bit; remove chicken from bone; and tear chicken into bite size pieces.

  5. Add cooked pasta to each bowl; ladle soup over pasta; garnish as desired; and serve.

Tips

You can use any chicken in this recipe, however, dark meat provides more flavor, as does the use of chicken with bones. I prefer to use chicken breasts, as they are lower in fat and calories.

    1. Jodi,

      When I make chicken noodle soup or any soup that calls for rice or pasta, I just make the pasta or rice separately and add it to each bowl, in the amount desired, and then add the soup. It’s really a matter of preference. If you add it to the soup, it tends to get too soggy, though someone mentioned that this gluten-free pasta recipe holds up well even when reheated. As stated in the recipe, one full recipe of the noodles is enough to make this soup which makes 6 – 7 servings. I hope this helps.
