Ingredients
  

Chicken and vegetables
  • 1.5 lb chicken breast
  • 4 carrots
  • 4 celery
  • 1 onion
  • 4 garlic
  • 8 cup chicken broth (certified GF)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
Seasonings and noodles
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 8 oz gluten-free pasta brown rice rotini, GF egg noodles, or rice noodles
  • 0.25 salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 fresh parsley for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 Dutch oven

Method
 

Sauté the vegetables
  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat and sauté onion, carrots, and celery for 5 minutes until slightly softened with a fragrant aroma.
Build the soup base
  1. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly so it turns fragrant without browning.
  2. Add chicken broth (certified GF), dried thyme, dried parsley, garlic powder, and chicken, then bring everything to a boil.
  3. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 18-20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
Shred and finish with noodles
  1. Remove the chicken from the pot, shred it, and return the shredded chicken to the broth.
  2. Add gluten-free pasta and cook according to package instructions, checking frequently because GF pasta can overcook.
  3. Season generously with salt and pepper, then garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For best texture, keep the soup at a gentle simmer once the noodles go in and check them early since many gluten-free pastas soften quickly. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days; freeze only the chicken-vegetable broth (freeze without pasta) up to 2 months. For a lower-sodium option, choose certified GF chicken broth labeled reduced sodium and adjust salt at the end to taste.
