Why it works
- Gluten-free: Gluten-free chicken stock and plain ingredients keep wheat, barley and rye out of the soup.
- Celiac disease: Every grain product and the chicken stock are explicitly gluten-free; the soup uses no other gluten-containing ingredients.
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.
