15 Comforting Dairy Free Gluten Free Soup Recipes.

When you want a bowl of comfort food, there’s nothing like a rich, creamy soup or a hearty bowl of chili. Just because you have dietary restrictions doesn’t mean you can’t have delicious soups. These comforting dairy free and gluten free soup recipes are sure to become new favorites!

When the weather starts to cool down, I turn to soup for lunch or dinner. My recipe index has tons of recipes for gluten free and dairy free soups, but I thought I would highlight a few of my favorites in this post. Whether you like creamy soups, or soups with lots of beans or meat, or lighter soups, there’s sure to be something here for you to try!

Soup is a great option for a nice Sunday dinner or even a gathering with friends. You can double or even triple these recipes if you’re feeding a crowd!

What kind of broth should I use?

If you have food allergies or dietary restrictions, you know that broth can be a tricky ingredient. You can always make your own stock from scratch – that’s one sure way to know that a broth or stock is safe for you. There are many brands of stock out there. One brand to look into is Kitchen Basics, which is made by McCormick, and has a thorough allergen statement on the packaging.

As always, please research any ingredients to make sure that they are safe for your particular needs.
