Does Campbell’s make gluten free chicken noodle soup?
As of right now, Campbell’s does not make any gluten free chicken noodle soup. Most of their soups contain wheat or wheat based ingredients which is not suitable for those with celiac disease or other gluten allergies.
Ingredients you’ll need
- Rotisserie chicken: Leftover rotisserie chicken is the secret to rich flavor and a mix of tender dark and white meat.
- Pasta: I like spiral noodles for this recipe, but you can use any type you like. I use the same noodles in my Gluten-Free Mac and Cheese (Instant Pot) recipe.
- Frozen veggies: Frozen corn and peas bring convenience, texture, and vitamins to the soup.
- Lemon juice: A splash brightens the flavor and enhances the fresh herbs
- Seasoning: A blend of oregano, basil, thyme, parsley, garlic salt, onion salt, salt, and pepper gives the soup the classic flavor.
How to make cozy gluten free chicken noodle soup
Pick the chicken: Remove as much meat as you can from the rotisserie chicken and set it aside.
Make the broth: Put the leftover chicken (bones included) into a large pot. Add enough water to submerge the chicken, then cook over medium heat for 1-2 hours.
Remove the chicken: Use a large slotted spoon to carefully remove the chicken from the pot and place it on a plate.
Pick and shred: Once the chicken has cooled slightly, pick off any remaining meat. Shred the chicken and set it aside.
Strain the broth: Use the slotted spoon to remove any leftover skin, bones, or fat from the broth, then discard.
Add ingredients: Add the shredded chicken to the pot. Add the frozen corn, peas, carrots, and seasonings.
Cook the vegetables: Let the soup cook until the vegetables are tender.
Add the noodles: Stir in the gluten-free spiral pasta and cook until the noodles are soft.
What chicken stock is gluten free?
There are plenty of gluten-free chicken stock options. Kettle & Fire, Swanson, and McCormick are just a few brands that offer gluten-free chicken stock. Always check the nutritional values and ingredients list before consuming though, just to be safe.
Leftovers and storage
Refrigerating: Let the soup to cool completely before pouring it to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The flavors deepen even more as it sits, making it taste even better the next day!
Freezing: If you want to save some for later, this soup freezes easily. Pour completely cooled soup to a freezer-safe container or ziplock bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat on the stove.
