Cold winter days make me crave soup. Unfortunately, finding healthy, gluten free soups is a tough task. That’s why I love this recipe for gluten free chicken noodle soup. I usually make a double batch and freeze some for later days.

Gluten Free Chicken Noodle Soup

Ingredients:

• 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 carrots, peeled and sliced

• 1 Tablespoon garlic, chopped
• 8 cups chicken broth
• 2 chicken breasts, raw, cut into pieces
• 8 ounces gluten free pasta, elbows, shells, or spaghetti
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat, add carrots, celery, and onion and sauté until tender. Add garlic a sauté 1-2 minutes longer.
2. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil.
3. Season chicken with salt and pepper and add to chicken broth.
4. Turn heat to low and simmer until chicken is cooked through.
5. Add pasta and simmer until pasta is tender. Stir frequently to keep pasta from sticking.
