Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s what you’ll need to make this chicken noodle soup:
- Chicken stock: Choose a high-quality, flavorful chicken broth for the best results. This is the base of your soup, so it will have a big impact on the final product!
- Chicken thighs: While you can use chicken breasts or rotisserie chicken for this recipe, I think chicken thighs offer the best flavor! The dark meat is always moist and tender!
- Onion, carrot, and celery: This is a classic combination for any chicken noodle soup. You can buy a pre-chopped mix at Trader Joe’s to save time making this gluten-free soup recipe.
- Gluten-free noodles: I really love Jovial Foods tagliatelle. They work perfectly in this soup and can be found in many stores or online.
- Butter: You can also use olive oil instead of butter, if you prefer.
- Parsley, thyme, and bay leaf: These seasonings make all the difference with this soup. Use fresh if you can!
- Garlic: Freshly chopped garlic is best, but you can also use frozen garlic cubes or minced, jarred garlic.
How to Make this Recipe
- In a large pot or dutch oven, heat the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper and cook for 10 minutes or so, until softened.
- Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Stir in the chicken stock, bay leaves, thyme and chicken thighs. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
- Partially cover the pot with a lid and cook, stirring a few times until the chicken thighs are cooked through and pasta is al dente; about 20 minutes.
- Remove the cooked chicken onto a plate. Add the gluten-free egg noodles to the simmering soup. Cook for 8-10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, dice or shred the chicken into small pieces. Add the shredded chicken back to the soup along with the fresh parsley. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Enjoy!

FAQs
No, Campbell’s chicken noodle soup is not gluten-free. The noodles are made with wheat flour, so it’s not safe for people with Celiac disease.
Unfortunately, none of Campbell’s soups are gluten-free. If you check out the company’s website, you’ll see that the only gluten-free products they offer are tomato juice, Pace salsa, Prego Italian sauces, and Swanson broths and stocks.
Progresso traditional chicken soup is not gluten-free, but they do have a gluten-free homestyle chicken soup that is safe for people with Celiac disease. Look for the gluten-free label on the front of the can.

It’s been so cold here and we’ve been making lots of different kinds of soups, this one is always a family favorite.. The noodles hold up nicely too and it has just the right amount of comforting flavor (not overly herb-y like some recipes)
