QUICK AND EASY GLUTEN FREE CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP



Quick and Easy Gluten Free Chicken Noodle Soup image

I came up with this when I started making Chicken soup and decided to add the Tapioca and it tasted just the same, if not better! This will make somewhat of a smaller batch of soup, so this can easily be doubled if need be. Just as a note, I have found the Brown Rice Pasta noodles at Trader Joe's. I just recently found that Wal-Mart also have a couple of varieties of Brown Rice Pasta Noodles, which may be more convenient and available than Trader Joes.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 chicken breasts
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 onion, diced
3 -4 tablespoons tapioca flour
1 (14 ounce) can gluten-free chicken stock (Make sure to check label to be sure that it is gluten free)
2 cups water
1 (10 ounce) can evaporated milk
2 teaspoons sage
salt and pepper
1 1/2 cups brown rice pasta
1 1/2 cups frozen peas and carrots

Steps:

  • In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. Salt and pepper the chicken breasts and sauté for about 5 minutes, turn and sauté for about 3 minutes more. Remove the chicken from the pan. They will not need to be cooked through, as you will continue to cook them in the soup.
  • Add the remaining two tablespoons of butter and add the chopped onions and cook them for about 5 minutes or so. Add the tapioca flour and stir in until the onions are thickened. You may need to add some more of the flour if it needs it. Add the chicken broth and the water and stir well with a whisk. Season the broth with the sage and the salt and pepper. You may not need to add the salt if the broth has enough.
  • Return the chicken back to the pot and put a lid on the pan and continue to cook in the broth for about 10 minutes or so.
  • Remove the chicken and cut the chicken into good bite size pieces. Add the frozen vegetables and the cut up chicken to the pot and cook for another 5-10 minutes or so.
  • Add the canned milk and stir in well. Serve hot. I usually love to eat my soup with some fresh rolls, so if you have any gluten free rolls, dip them into the soup and enjoy!

QUICK CHICKEN NOODLE VEGETABLE SOUP (WEIGHT WATCHERS)



Quick Chicken Noodle Vegetable Soup (Weight Watchers) image

This soup is from an old issue of Weight Watchers Magazine. It's a core recipe or only has 3 points per serving if counting. If the broth gets a little too thick after refrigerating leftovers, add a little water to thin and reheat on stove or microwave. NOTE: Weight Watchers lists the calories per serving for this recipe to be 160 with 2 g fat which makes 3 points per serving. For some reason Zaar has the calories and fat a lot higher. I think that perhaps Zaar doesn't recognize the chicken ingredient to be skinless which would reduce the fat quantity.
