Gluten Free Chicken Noodle Soup

Great Tasting Gluten Free Chicken Noodle Soup

With the start of school and all the new germs... it's time for sickness and colds!  I made this delicious Chicken Noodle Soup by Chef John, only I made it Gluten Free.  It is a delicious recipe and was given a thumbs up by my daughter who is a soup connoisseur.

Original (gluten) recipe was taken from allrecipes.com http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Chef-Johns-Homemade-Chicken-Noodle-Soup/Detail.aspx?src=VD_Summary

Here is my Gluten Free Version:

1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup diced carrot

1/2 cup diced onion

1/2 cup diced celery

1 pinch salt

1/4 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

2 tablespoons melted chicken fat (optional)

2 quarts roasted chicken broth (Gluten Free Broth)

2 cooked boneless chicken breast halves cubed

1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

1 Bag of Tinkiyada Gluten Free Noodles

 

Directions

1. Melt butter in a large soup pot over medium heat. Stir in carrot, onion, celery, salt, and fresh thyme. Stir in chicken fat; cook and stir until the onions turn soft and translucent, 5 to 6 minutes.
2. Stir in roasted chicken broth and bring to a boil.
3. Season to taste with salt, if necessary; stir in Gluten Free noodles and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
4. Stir in cooked chicken breast meat and simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes. Season with cayenne pepper(optional), salt and black pepper to taste. 

I cooked the noodles separately and keep them in a separate container - just add when you prepare a bowl of soup.
I let this soup simmer for 2 hours. Everything was tender and delicious. Great flavor!

Enjoy!
