What’s In This Dairy Free Creamy Chicken Soup?

I cook with fresh produce from my garden and from Misfits Market– they sell fantastic fruit, vegetables, & pantry staples at a discounted price. We get Misfit boxes every other week and love picking out favorite produce for delivery. Get $10 off your first box here!

• Pasta – I used a frozen cavatelli pasta I found at the store, but you can use your favorite soup pasta instead! You can use penne, egg noodles, or bowties. You can even add a gluten free pasta too.
• Chicken
• Coconut Milk: I use unsweetened full-fat coconut milk, which I’d definitely recommend over lite coconut milk. The flavor makes this dish super rich and creamy without any dairy.
• Onion
• Garlic
• Carrots
• Celery
• Low Sodium Vegetable Stock – I like to use this low sodium vegetable stock for my recipes because it has great flavor… without all the salt. I always use low sodium or no-salt-added broth or stock to start, and then I can add salt or other spices later if needed. Check out some fantastic low sodium recipes here!
• Sea Salt & Black Pepper
• Fresh parsley for a bright fresh flavor

Cooking Pasta For Soups

For most of my recipes, I prefer to cook the pasta separately from the soup broth. If you add dried pasta directly to a hot soup, you run the risk of having the dried pasta soak up all the broth and overcooking the noodles (turning it soup into a mushy mess).

I’ve found that cooking the pasta separately, then serving the broth over the noodles in a bowl works best. I allow the soup to cool, then add the cooked pasta after. That way you’ll have perfectly cooked pasta that holds it shape and a delicious brothy soup.

How Do I Make This Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup Dairy Free?

1. Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain, and set aside, allowing pasta to cool.
2. In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over low heat. Add the garlic and onion and sauté for 6 or 7 minutes until translucent. Toss in the carrots and celery and cook for 5 minutes longer.
3. Add the vegetable stock, cooked chicken, thyme, and salt. Bring to a boil, and cook for 30 minutes until vegetables are tender.
4. Remove from heat and stir in the coconut milk and parsley. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
5. To serve, add 1/2 cup cooked pasta to a bowl, ladle the hot soup over the pasta.
6. If adding the pasta to the soup, make sure the broth is cool before adding, or else pasta will overcook.
