2 carrots, peeled and sliced

2 celery stalks, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

8 cups chicken broth (low-sodium)

1 tsp dried thyme

Instructions

1. Cook the Chicken

In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

Add the chicken breasts or thighs and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.

Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside to cool slightly. Once cooled, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces using two forks.

2. Sauté the Vegetables

In the same pot, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.

Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften.

Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

3. Add the Broth and Seasonings

Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the thyme, oregano, bay leaf, salt, and pepper.

Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

4. Cook the Noodles

Add the gluten-free noodles to the pot and continue to simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender (check package instructions, as cook times can vary for different gluten-free pastas).

Add the shredded chicken back into the pot and stir to combine.

5. Finish and Serve

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Remove the bay leaf.

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.

Tips

If you prefer a thicker broth, you can add a splash of gluten-free flour or cornstarch to thicken it up slightly.

You can use leftover cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken for a quicker version of this soup.

For extra vegetables, add spinach or kale toward the end of cooking, letting it wilt into the soup.

Enjoy your Gluten-Free Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup, a warm and hearty dish that’s naturally gluten-free and perfect for any season!
