We have seemingly been passing our sickness back and forth to each other and it's made a pretty terrible month.  But February is upon us and I can feel healthier days are headed our way soon!  So.....what's best to eat when your under the weather....Chicken Soup!  Now being gluten free has often times thrown a real monkey wrench into my  meals.  My 10yr old Turbo is PiCkY!  He actually prefers the taste of boxed mac &Cheese from you know who and he loved canned Chicken Noodle soup.  All my previous attempts at recreating his favorites were epic fails...until this past week!  So without further ado, our GF Chicken Noodle Soup that tastes just like the"real" canned variety! :-)

Leftover Chicken Carcass from either a store bought roaster or one you've cooked.
4-5 Chicken Bouillon squares (make sure it's GF)
3-4 roughly chopped Celery Stalks (pre-wash)
3-4 Carrots roughly chopped (pealing unnecessary) pre-wash
1 lg. onion cut into large chunks.
Sam Mills Gluten Free Fettuccine Noodles (break the long noodles into three sections)
12Q. Stock Pot
3-4 garlic cloves
1T. Poultry Seasoning
Salt & Pepper to Taste


First place your entire left over chicken into your stock pot.  Then cover with water until pot is about 3/4 full of water.  Add all chopped/washed veggies.  Bring to a boil then reduce to simmer for 3 hours.  Taste broth and if needed add Bouillon to enhance the flavor.   Strain the broth leaving you with a bowl of soft veggies and broken down chicken.  Now, you can take the carrots if you'd like and mash or cut them into tiny pieces and add them back into the stock pot with your broth.  You will also go through the bowl and pull out any good meat that has fallen off the carcass If you were just boiling with bones you'll need to add in some pre-cooked and finely shredded chicken.  Add in 1T. Poultry seasoning.  This is optional but I really feel like it enhances the flavor of the soup.  Allow soup to simmer.

Meanwhile bowl water for your Gluten Free noodles.  We are big fans of Sam Mill GF noodles and I found the Fettuccine noodles to work perfect.  I grabbed handfuls and broke them into three smaller pieces and cooked the noodles like that.   Grab a medium pot and bring some salted water to boil.  Stir frequently to prevent the noddles from sticking together.  Good approx. 9 minutes or until noddles are soft.  Drain the water and add the noddles to your soup.

This is our basic Chicken Noodle Soup that tastes like the canned stuff! (only better!)  Feel free to add to it.  Our goal in creating the soup was that it would be a simple replica of the canned stuff that Turbo loves and it got his stamp of approval.   Below is the link to the Sam Mill Noddles we use and love!
