Why it works
- Celiac disease: The dumplings are made with gluten-free flour and the stock is gluten-free, so the whole pot is on the table for everyone.
- Milk allergy: Richness comes from olive oil and the chicken broth itself, with no butter or milk anywhere in the pot.
Celiac check: watch for hidden gluten in soy sauce, stock, malt vinegar and seasoning blends, and oats that aren’t certified. Gluten gives food ideas, not medical advice: always check labels for allergens and cross-contact.
