QUICK AND EASY GLUTEN FREE CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP



Quick and Easy Gluten Free Chicken Noodle Soup image

I came up with this when I started making Chicken soup and decided to add the Tapioca and it tasted just the same, if not better! This will make somewhat of a smaller batch of soup, so this can easily be doubled if need be. Just as a note, I have found the Brown Rice Pasta noodles at Trader Joe's. I just recently found that Wal-Mart also have a couple of varieties of Brown Rice Pasta Noodles, which may be more convenient and available than Trader Joes.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 chicken breasts
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 onion, diced
3 -4 tablespoons tapioca flour
1 (14 ounce) can gluten-free chicken stock (Make sure to check label to be sure that it is gluten free)
2 cups water
1 (10 ounce) can evaporated milk
2 teaspoons sage
salt and pepper
1 1/2 cups brown rice pasta
1 1/2 cups frozen peas and carrots

Steps:

  • In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. Salt and pepper the chicken breasts and sauté for about 5 minutes, turn and sauté for about 3 minutes more. Remove the chicken from the pan. They will not need to be cooked through, as you will continue to cook them in the soup.
  • Add the remaining two tablespoons of butter and add the chopped onions and cook them for about 5 minutes or so. Add the tapioca flour and stir in until the onions are thickened. You may need to add some more of the flour if it needs it. Add the chicken broth and the water and stir well with a whisk. Season the broth with the sage and the salt and pepper. You may not need to add the salt if the broth has enough.
  • Return the chicken back to the pot and put a lid on the pan and continue to cook in the broth for about 10 minutes or so.
  • Remove the chicken and cut the chicken into good bite size pieces. Add the frozen vegetables and the cut up chicken to the pot and cook for another 5-10 minutes or so.
  • Add the canned milk and stir in well. Serve hot. I usually love to eat my soup with some fresh rolls, so if you have any gluten free rolls, dip them into the soup and enjoy!

Tips and Conclusion for the Best Chicken Soup

Tips:
  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, organic chicken and vegetables will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. If you add too much chicken or vegetables to the pot, it will be difficult for the flavors to meld together. Aim for about 1 pound of chicken and 2 cups of vegetables per 8 cups of water.
  • Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to develop and deepen. The longer you simmer the soup, the better it will taste.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a splash of lemon juice or rice vinegar to brighten up the flavors.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include noodles, rice, croutons, and vegetables.
Conclusion: Chicken soup is a classic comfort food that is enjoyed by people all over the world. It is a delicious and nutritious way to stay healthy during cold and flu season. With a few simple tips, you can make the best chicken soup that your family and friends will love. So next time you're feeling under the weather, or just want a warm and comforting meal, reach for a bowl of chicken soup. You won't be disappointed.
