Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 stalks Celery stalks, finely chopped
• 2 cups Cooked chicken, shredded or cubed
• 4 cups Chicken broth
• 1 cup Coconut milk (unsweetened, full-fat)
• 1 tablespoon Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and chopped celery to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in the gluten-free all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a light roux.

Step 4

Pour in the chicken broth gradually, stirring constantly to dissolve the flour and avoid clumps.

Step 5

Add the cooked chicken, coconut milk, nutritional yeast, salt, and ground black pepper to the pot. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Bring the soup to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Let it cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

If you prefer a smoother consistency, use an immersion blender to blend part of the soup, leaving some texture from the chicken and vegetables. Alternatively, transfer half the soup to a blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the pot.

Step 8

Adjust the seasoning to taste with additional salt and pepper if necessary.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls, and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy!
