If you have a gluten allergy or celiac disease, soup is often a major problem, but not always.\u00a0 Here’s what to look for in gluten-free soup.<\/p>\n

Soup is frequently off the list if you are avoiding gluten.\u00a0 I always assume I can’t eat the soup when offered, especially at restaurants.\u00a0 Canned soup is almost impossible, and you can forget about powdered soup most of the time.<\/p>\n

But all is not lost, there are still plenty of gluten-free soup options!\u00a0 Here’s what to watch out for, both as far as avoiding gluten-contaminated soup, and enjoying soup that is safe for you.<\/p>\n

Gluten-Free Soup, Home Made<\/h2>\n

Home made soup of course, is your best bet, because then you know exactly what went into it.<\/p>\n

It is popular to thicken soup for some reason.\u00a0 Personally, I think this is unnecessary.<\/p>\n

Soup can be made from almost anything.\u00a0 The basics are a good stock (boil the bones of chicken, beef, turkey, etc.) for a good long time (a full day is not too long, a few hours will suffice), and you have your stock.\u00a0 If using a whole chicken carcass, you’ll want to pull out all the bones.\u00a0 For larger bones like marrow bones from beef, removing the bones is easy and hardly necessary.<\/p>\n

After that, add what ever you want, especially vegetables.\u00a0 It’s that easy!<\/p>\n

Just don’t add flour, barely, wheat pasta or anything silly like that and you’ll have great soup, gluten-free!<\/p>\n

Gluten-Free Soup, At The Homes of Friends<\/h2>\n

If your friends subscribe to the same home-made soup guidelines I just outlined above, then you’re fine.\u00a0 The key thing is: don’t be afraid to ask.\u00a0 If they made it from a can, don’t worry about embarrassing them nearly so much as taking care of your own health needs.\u00a0 Of course you’ll want to ask them as tactfully as possible, preferably before the soup is served.<\/p>\n

If they don’t know what’s in the soup for some reason, give it a miss.<\/p>\n

Gluten-Free Soup, Canned<\/h2>\n

Most canned soup I have seen, nearly all of it actually, contains gluten.<\/p>\n

For years, the only exception I knew of, in Canada at least, is Habitat brand pea soup.<\/p>\n

Now you are likely to find brands of soup that are specifically gluten-free.\u00a0 I can’t recommend any because I usually make my own, but perhaps some day I’ll check some out for you and write an article about it.\u00a0 If you know of some that you like, please share your favorites, and what to avoid, in the comments section below.<\/p>\n

Gluten-Free Soup, Powdered<\/h2>\n

I’d given up on gluten-free powdered soup completely, until someone showed me powdered miso soup, which is gluten-free, at least\u00a0 the brand I saw.\u00a0\u00a0 Sorry, I’m not sure what brand that is now since I used it all up.\u00a0 I’ll amend this article and put it in when I find it.\u00a0 I’m pretty sure it was bought from a health food store.\u00a0 It may be available in a Japanese food store also.<\/p>\n

Gluten-Free Soup, Restaurants<\/h2>\n

You’ll almost always have to avoid soup in restaurants.\u00a0 But ask, sometimes they surprise you with soup you can eat.<\/p>\n

You’ll generally do well in Thai and Indian restaurants, especially Thai, but always ask.<\/p>\n
