Gluten-Free Chicken Noodle Soup
Description
The Gluten-Free Chicken Noodle Soup brings together cooked, shredded chicken tossed with soy sauce, sriracha for heat, grated ginger for pungency, and lime juice for brightness. Julienned carrots and bell peppers add color and a crisp texture, while chopped green onions contribute mild sharpness. Palmini noodles, made from heart of palm, offer a gluten-free, low-carb substitute that holds up well in hot broth. The soup components are layered in mason jars and chilled, then hot chicken broth is poured over the contents just before serving to warm everything gently without overcooking the noodles or vegetables. Garnishing with chopped cilantro and sesame seeds adds freshness and a slight nuttiness. This method allows for convenient individual servings and easy storage.
Serve this soup as a light meal or starter, especially when craving something warming but not heavy. The mix of spicy, savory, and tangy notes with tender chicken and fresh vegetables offers a balance of tastes and textures.
Store uncovered soup jars in the fridge for 3-4 days. For longer storage, freeze the soup after cooling in airtight containers for up to 2 months; reheat by microwaving from frozen with stirring to ensure even warming. Letting the jars sit at room temperature before adding broth prevents the noodles from softening excessively.
