Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 cup Cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
- 2 cups Gluten-free chicken broth
- 1.5 cups Milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 2 tablespoons Sweet rice flour (or another gluten-free flour blend)
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream (optional, for extra creaminess)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Step 3
Stir in the sweet rice flour and cook for about 1 minute to form a roux.
Step 4
Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring the mixture is smooth with no lumps.
Step 5
Next, gradually whisk in the milk, continuing to stir to create a creamy base.
Step 6
Add the shredded chicken, salt, pepper, and onion powder. Combine well and let simmer on low heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 7
For a richer flavor, stir in the heavy cream during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
Step 8
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Step 9
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired. Serve hot.
