Is chicken noodle soup gluten-free?

Traditional chicken noodle soup, like Campbell's, is not gluten-free. Even some homemade chicken noodle soups can be filled with gluten. The easy culprit of gluten is the noodles, usually traditional wheat ones. I know Progresso does make a gluten-free chicken noodle soup, but I honestly wasn't a fan.

To make this homemade chicken noodle soup, we are just switching common wheat ingredients with gluten-free alternatives, and we can still enjoy a delicious bowl of gluten-free soup.

Ingredients.

  • Chicken
  • Gluten-free Chicken Stock
  • Water
  • Carrots
  • Celery
  • Onion
  • Garlic
  • Gluten-free Noodles
  • Olive Oil
  • Spices

Ingredient notes and substitutions.

  • Gluten-free chicken stock. - Not all store-bought brands of chicken broth, chicken stock, bone broth, bouillon, and powdered broth bases are gluten-free. Make sure you always check the label to ensure the one you use is gluten-free. For this recipe, you can use broth or stock; it doesn't matter. Just what you have or prefer.
  • Gluten-free pasta. - For this homemade gluten-free chicken noodle soup recipe, I usually use Barilla gluten-free spaghetti noodles. My kids love the traditional texture, and I find they hold their shape well without becoming mushy like some gluten-free pasta can. If you want to make your own homemade gluten-free pasta, you can certainly do that. I would suggest adding after the chicken has cooked since it will not take as long to cook. You can use whatever gluten-free pasta you like. Feel free to mix it up and use a fun shape if you prefer.
  • Dairy-free soup. - Thankfully, this gluten-free soup recipe already makes a dairy-free chicken noodle soup, so there are no substitutions needed.

How to make gluten-free chicken noodle soup.

When it comes to making this homemade gluten-free chicken noodle soup recipe, don't let the name fool you. I promise, it is beyond easy to make and only needs one pot.

  1. Saute the veggies and garlic.
  2. Add the chicken, stock, and spices and simmer.
  3. Stir in the gluten-free pasta.
  4. Let the pasta cooking, and serve warm.

Tips, tricks, and shortcuts.

  • Use already cooked chicken. - While this is a homemade soup recipe, sometimes it's a little thing like shredding up a gluten-free rotisserie chicken that not only adds flavor but makes dinner come together even faster.
  • Cut the vegetables thicker. - Because the vegetables are sauteed for flavor and then simmered in the broth, you want to make sure you cut your vegetables a little bit bigger for this soup. If you cut your vegetables too small or thin, they can become mushy in your soup.
  • Change the veggies. - If you or your family doesn't like a vegetable, it's easy to switch them out to ones you know they will eat. Peas, carrots, and corn make a delicious combination in this gluten-free soup.
  • Use frozen veggies. - If you don't tend to keep fresh vegetables on hand, you can easily toss a bag of your favorite frozen vegetables into the pot.
  • The right texture for your gluten-free noodles. - If you prefer your gluten-free pasta to have more of an al dente texture, then I suggest cooking them in a separate pot and adding them to the soup once they are cooked and drained.
  • Want fewer carbs? - You can easily swap the gluten-free pasta for low-carb pasta like hearts of palm pasta or even zucchini noodles. That will make this more of a keto chicken noodle soup.
  • Adjust the spices. - I tend to wait to salt and pepper my chicken noodle soup until after the pasta is cooThis This is because not all gluten-free chicken stock is seasoned the same. Some are already very salty, while other, I will find, needs more salt.
  • Lemon juice. - Sometimes, my chicken stock isn't cutting it, and I really need to brighten it up when making this soup. Adding just about one tablespoon of lemon juice can really add a lot of flavor to your soup.

Serving suggestions.

This homemade gluten-free soup is delicious on its own for an easy, comfort food dinner. Sometimes my kids will ask me to grab some gluten-free crackers to go along with it. Other times I will do a simple salad on the side or bake up a quick batch of gluten-free cornbread.

Storing/making ahead/ freezing and reheating.

  • If you have leftovers of this homemade chicken noodle soup, you can save and store it for later by keeping it in a sealed container. In the fridge, this soup will last 3-4 days.
  • You can freeze this gluten-free soup. However, because we are using gluten-free noodles for this recipe, I highly suggest freezing this soup without the noodles. Just make the soup up to the point of adding the noodles, let it cool and freeze. When you are ready to enjoy a bowl of soup, warm it up and then add freshly cooked noodles to enjoy.
  • Reheating this homemade chicken noodle soup is easy. You can either put it into a pot over medium heat or microwave it until it is warmed through.
