Instructions

Place large saucepan on stovetop over medium-high heat. Add ¼ cup cooked and chopped chicken, 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth, 1 ½ cups milk of choice (at room temperature), salt, and 2 teaspoons all-purpose seasoning blendto pot. Stir until ingredients are fully incorporated.
Bring mixture to gentle boil, stirring frequently, then immediately reduce heat to low.
While mixture comes to boil, add ¾ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour and 1 ½ cups low-sodium chicken broth to small mixing bowl. Whisk ingredients together until fully combined, with no clumps of flour remaining.
After reducing heat under saucepan, slowly add flour slurry to chicken mixture in small increments, stirring constantly. Fully incorporate each addition of slurry before adding more, maintaining constant stirring motion.
Once all slurry has been added, continue whisking until mixture thickens and all ingredients are fully combined, approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Taste soup and add more salt if needed.
When satisfied with flavor of soup, portion soup into serving bowls and serve warm. Alternately, transfer soup to mason jar or other airtight container and let cool completely, then seal container and refrigerate or freeze until ready to use.

Recipe Notes

Chicken: Leftover chicken works really well here, but you can also use canned chicken, or you can cook chicken specifically for this recipe.
Chicken Broth: At its core, chicken broth is naturally gluten free. Some brands add gluten-containing ingredients to their broths, though. To keep this soup gluten free, be sure to double check your chicken broth!
Milk: If you plan to use a non-dairy milk, be sure to use one that's unsweetened!
Storage: Refrigerate cooled cream of chicken soup in an airtight container up to 5 days. Freeze cooled cream of chicken soup in an airtight container up to 3 months.
Make it Dairy Free: Use an unsweetened, non-dairy milk, like almond milk or coconut milk.
