Chicken Veggie Stew {Gluten-Free Naturally}

I’ve got a really good recipe today!

It’s naturally gluten free and super healthy, not to mention it’s a perfect autumn-winter dish if you feel the need to get cozy.

And it’s time to get cozy, here in the deep south of the US we’ve had a chill that rivals the temperatures December! I love it to be honest…it makes me crave pink snugly socks, a fire in the fireplace and a big pot of soup simmering on the stove.

Sigh. Bliss.

All is right with the world…

So I thought I’d bring back Live Souper Cozy early this year!

(If you’re new, we did lots of ‘souper’ soup recipes last winter you can find them HERE!)

I tweaked this yummy stew all afternoon and The Husband says it’s perfect, sure hope you like it too!

(If you have Celiac Disease or are Gluten-Sensitive don’t forget to double check your chicken stock & canned ingredients!)

Chicken Veggie Stew

*4 chicken breasts

(Put them in raw and whole-when soup & breasts are done, take them out and shred the chicken-put shredded chicken back into soup!)

*6 Cups Chicken stock

*1  28 oz. can diced tomatoes

*1  28 oz. can crushed tomatoes

*6 red potatoes diced

*4-6 slices of Canadian Bacon diced

(I use this to give a smoky flavor-it really makes a difference! Lower fat/calories than bacon& almost as good!)

*1 Tablespoon oregano

*2 cloves of garlic – chopped small

*Dash of celery salt

*Salt & Pepper to taste

*1/4 cup chopped cilantro

*1/2  large white onion-chopped

*1 cup chopped carrots

*2 cups white corn (I took it right off the cob)

*4 cups chopped cabbage

*1 cup squash (I used zucchini & yellow-1 each)

*****

Put everything in a heavy pot & bring to a boil for a few minutes, stirring quite a lot!

Simmer on low for a few hours, stirring now & then.
(the longer it simmers the better!)

Take out (done) chicken breasts and shred with a fork

Put shredded chicken back into soup & stir

(while it’s simmering, get someone to stir it for you while you  soak in a hot candle-lit bubble bath…ahhhh)

Serve with crusty cheese bread…if, that is, you can eat crusty bread!
