Notes
This recipe is already designed to be gluten free when prepared with certified gluten-free ingredients.
Use a certified gluten-free flour blend to ensure the soup thickens properly without wheat flour.
Verify that the chicken stock is labeled gluten free, as some brands may contain gluten-based additives or flavorings.
Confirm that the cooked chicken is gluten free, especially if using rotisserie chicken or pre-seasoned chicken.
Check the labels on the butter, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt to ensure there are no gluten-containing additives or cross-contact warnings.
Use clean cookware, utensils, measuring cups, and storage containers to prevent cross-contamination.
If serving with crackers, bread, biscuits, or using in casseroles, make sure all accompanying ingredients are certified gluten free.
