Chicken, Noodle & Vegetable Soup
I have to admit, I didn’t get terribly creative with the soup challenge this month, but that’s one of the great things about soup. You can just keep doing variations on a theme. In this case, it was chicken noodle soup put together with what ingredients I had on hand, and cooked in the pressure cooker. I had never cooked pasta in the pressure cooker before, so that was an experiment.
This soup was the second way I used the shredded chicken meat I had in my freezer, which I mentioned last week. I usually put chunks of chicken meat in soup, and I wasn’t sure how I would like shredded meat. It worked well though. Also, I usually make chicken and vegetable soup or chicken and noodle soup, but this time I decided to include all three. It turned out great. As usual, I made the soup in my pressure cooker, but you can use a regular stove top method.
I’m looking forward to seeing your soup recipes on Wednesday!
Gluten-Free Chicken, Noodle & Vegetable Soup
- 4 c. chicken broth
- 2 c. water
- 2 c. cooked chicken, chopped or shredded
- 3 carrots
- 10 oz. frozen green beans (that’s an estimate, I just threw some in)
- 6 oz. gluten free linguini or spaghetti (that’s an estimate, I had part of a package)
- 1/2 medium onion, diced
- olive oil (I also add a little flaxseed oil)
- basil (or other seasoning)
- salt & pepper to taste
Stovetop: Heat the broth and water to a boil. Add the carrots, chopped, the onion, and green beans. Return to a boil and add the linguini, broken into thirds. Cook until the pasta is done and the vegetables are tender. Stir in the chicken, oil, and seasoning.

I actually prefer shredded chicken to chicken "cubes" in my soups. Not sure why, just a personal thing I guess. This looks simple and comforting. Yum.
This soup looks so comforting.
