Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup (GF)

     Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

  • 16 oz bag noodles, cooked and drained (I used Gluten Free Spirals)
  • 32 oz Free Range Chicken Broth
  • 1/2 lb chicken meat, cooked and shredded
  • 1 cup thickly shredded carrots
  • 4 celery stalks, chopped
  • 4 c broth from cooking your chicken
  • 2 T Italian seasoning
  • 2 t minced onion
  • 1 t chives
  • 1/2 t garlic powder
  • 1/4 t Turmeric
  • sea salt & pepper to taste, we use LOTS of pepper 🙂

Combine all ingredients (excluding chicken and noodles) in crock pot and turn on high while you cook your chicken.  While chicken is cooling, prepare your noodles.  Add chicken, broth and noodles to crock pot and cook on high for approx. 2 hours or until flavors are well incorporated and veggies are tender.

Beef and Cabbage Soup

Beef and Cabbage Soup

  • 1 lb Stewing Beef (Grass fed)
  • 32 oz Chicken Broth (measure off 8 oz of that and sit aside)
  • 2 Cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1/4 tsp Salt & Pepper
  • 1/4 c Apple Juice
  • 1 Head of Cabbage, lightly chopped
  • 29 oz of canned diced Tomatoes (don’t drain, you want the juice in the soup)
  • 1 t Parsley
  • 1/4 t Onion Powder
  • 1/4 t Garlic Powder
  • 1/8 t Cayenne Powder
  •  Salt & Pepper to taste

Put the beef, 24 oz of the chicken broth, the garlic, and 1/4 tsp each of salt and pepper in a large pot on the stove.  Add water until meat is covered.  Cook on low to med-low until meat is fully cooked.  Drain and break up meat to desired size.  Place beef back in pot. Add the reserved cup of chicken broth, apple juice, cabbage, tomatoes, parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, salt and pepper.  Add water until you see the liquid, DO NOT completely immerse everything, just bring fluid levels to about 1/4-1/2″ from the top of your stuff.  Cook on low to med-low for approx 1 hour until cabbage is tender.
