How To Make Gluten Free Cream of Chicken Soup
- In a medium pan, add the chicken broth, salt, celery salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil and continue boiling until the broth has reduced by half.
- Once the broth has reduced, pour it into a heat-safe container and set aside.
- In the same pan you used for the broth, add the butter and gluten free flour. Cook over low-medium heat for 4-5 minutes. Whisk frequently to avoid any burning.
- While whisking, pour the broth back into the pan with the flour and butter. Continue whisking until smooth.
- Now carefully add the milk and heavy cream and continue to whisk the soup mixture until it thickens. You’ll want it to reach an almost pudding-like consistency then remove it from heat.
- Divide the cream of chicken soup into two airtight containers and let it cool thoroughly. Store in the fridge, freezer, or add it to your recipe right away. Enjoy!
Tips and Variations:
- Depending on the type of broth you use, you may want to adjust the salt level. Since this is a condensed soup, it should be on the saltier side.
- To keep this recipe gluten free, make sure when choosing your broth and spices that they are gluten free as well as the flour.
- The gluten free flour we used in this recipe did not have xanthan or guar gum. If your flour does, you may want to adjust the amount and only use about 4 Tablespoons of flour.
- This recipe is free from corn, soy, gluten, yeast, xanthan gum, and added sugars.
- It may change the flavor a bit, but you could try substituting a dairy free alternative for the milk/cream and even use a dairy free butter if your dietary needs call for it!
Storage and Reheating
Storage: Store this condensed soup in an airtight container (mason jars are perfect for this!) in the refrigerator for a week.
