Nourishing and full of detoxifying properties, this Gluten-Free Chicken Noodle Soup is made easily with just 8 ingredients. Make this grain-free (paleo, keto, low-carb) and use vegetable noodles.
This soup is all that and more! It’s rich in flavor with ginger and garlic and yet gentle enough on the tummy (thank you bone broth!) to be used as a healing recipe. Moreover, it’s so versatile – feel free to use vegetable noodles (zoodles, spaghetti squash, etc..) to make this entirely grain free. There’s really no wrong way to eat this soup.
Delicious. Easy to make. But most importantly, so incredibly nourishing to the body!
Can you use frozen chicken to make Chicken Noodle Soup?
Yes, yes you can. In fact, that is how I make most of my meals these days – from frozen meats. The best method to cook frozen proteins is to use the Instant Pot. Just toss your frozen chicken in the pot, add salt and seasonings as you normally would for broth and cover with water. Cook on manual for 10 minutes per pound of frozen meat.
When the cooking cycle runs its’ course, allow to naturally release pressure. Carefully remove the chicken and run the broth through a sieve to catch all the gunk. This broth would be perfect for this soup. Remove meat from bones and set them aside. Discard bones.

If you tolerate white rice, my favorite rice noodles are these Thai Stir Fry Noodles. I break them in half and cover them with luke-warm water to soften them as I work on the vegetables. Covering them with water also kick-starts the cooking process and will make the soup less cloudy since some starch will be removed when after draining and rinsing the noodles.
I also love this brand of sprouted ancient gluten-free grains. This is a great option when you have a little more time as you would have to pre-cook these noodles according to package instructions. The ancient grains takes a little longer to cook and will need more than just soaking them in lukewarm water.
Both of these noodles are free from egg, dairy and gluten.
How to make Chicken Noodle Soup grain-free?
This is by far my favorite way to enjoy Chicken Noodle Soup but admittedly, it’s not very filling especially for growing teenagers.
But to make this Paleo, Whole30 and Low Carb, simply use zoodles or spaghetti squash and just portion them directly onto bowls and then ladle the chicken soup over the zoodles. The heat of the soup will semi-cook the zoodles or spaghetti squash to perfection and give you a beautiful, nourishing grain-free Chicken Noodle Soup.
