Winter is the perfect time to make a big pot of gluten free chicken noodle soup. It’s the coziest, most comforting meal I can think of.
There are so many reasons to have a good homemade chicken soup recipe up your sleeve.
Chilly winter days, a yucky head cold that’s making the rounds in your family, a Sunday dinner, making a meal for a friend who’s had a baby…these are just a few occasions that call for a comforting pot of soup.
Another really good reason to have a solid recipe for chicken noodle soup is that it’s usually a recipe everyone in the family can enjoy. From toddlers on up, you can probably make this recipe work for your family.
You’ll want to find a brand of pasta and a brand of broth that works for your particular allergy needs. Once you have those two ingredients, the rest of the recipe just falls into place.

Top Tip
One thing to remember is that gluten free pasta really soaks up the broth, so if you think you’re going to have a lot of soup left over, you should plan to add more broth the next day.
Ingredient Notes
- Chicken – Boneless, skinless chicken thighs give this soup a lot of flavor. You could use bone in chicken, but it’s a little bit of a hassle to remove the chicken from the bones once it’s been cooked.
- Chicken Broth – You can use any brand of chicken broth or stock that works for your dietary needs. If you have homemade chicken broth on hand, that will work, too!
- Gluten Free Pasta – There are many brands of gluten free pasta available. You can check out Tinkyada, Jovial, Ancient Harvest, and others. You can use any shape that you like. I used spaghetti this time and broke it into small pieces. Other options would be fettucine, rotini, or macaroni.
Substitutions
Not a noodle fan? Instead of noodles try:
- rice

Step by Step Instructions
- Place the olive oil, onions, celery, and carrots into a large pot and cook for about 7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
- Add the chicken thighs to the pot and season with salt and pepper.
- Add the broth to the pot, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for about 25 minutes. Remove the chicken and cut it into small pieces, then add it back to the soup.
- Add the gluten free pasta to the pot, and simmer for about 15 more minutes, or until the pasta is tender. Season with more salt and pepper if needed before serving.
Storage
Store leftover chicken soup in the refrigerator in an airtight container. It should stay fresh for about 3-4 days.
