Gluten Free Smoked Minestrone Soup Recipe

If you are a fan of homemade soups, this week's recipe is for you! I wanted to use up a lot of veggies and extra smoked chicken bone broth I made that were not eaten this past week, so I decided a soup recipe would be an excellent option to use them up. One problem was that I didn't want to add gluten to this dish. So, I decided to make it differently. Follow along to see how I created this gluten-free smoked minestrone recipe. I hope you and your family enjoy it.

Some things you should know before you attempt this recipe.

1. The night before, we smoked a whole chicken for dinner, and then I made chicken bone broth from the carcass.
2. If you want to make this dairy-free recipe, just remove the butter and add olive oil (Affiliate Link).
3. Cut and prep all the ingredients before starting to make this dish. It goes fast when cooking it.

That's it for now. Let's begin.

What's in this smoked minestrone soup recipe?

8 cups Smoked Chicken Bone Broth (see below on how to make it from home or buy it already made)
1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar - only use if making from home.
One tablespoon Coconut oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
½ onion (white) diced
1 cup carrots (diced)
1 cup celery (diced)
2 medium potatoes (russet) Diced
1 cup frozen green beans cut into 2-inch pieces
1 16 oz can of diced tomatoes
3 oz baby kale
1 zucchini fresh diced
1 can 15 oz cannellini beans rinsed and drained

How to Make Smoked Chicken Bone Broth?

After you smoke your whole chicken and have it for dinner, add the carcass into a slow cooker (Affiliate Link), add 1 tablespoon of Apple Cider vinegar and fill with water to cover the whole chicken. On low, cook for 16 hours. I usually do it overnight till lunch the next day. Remove the chicken carcass (trash) and then strain the liquid and place it in a glass container (Affiliate Link). Store in the fridge to get cold.

Now, here is how to make the Gluten-Free Smoked Minestrone Soup.

How to Make Gluten-Free Smoked Minestrone Soup?

Add butter and coconut oil to a deep, large saucepan, melting the butter and heating the oil.

Add the diced carrots, celery, and onions to the butter and coconut oil. Saute until caramelized and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.

Add the potatoes, green beans, tomatoes, zucchini, kale, cannellini beans, and room-temperature broth. Bring to a boil. If your broth is cold, this will take time. Then, reduce heat to low and simmer for 25 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender.

Turn off the range and let the mixture sit in the saucepan to get to room temperature. You can refrigerate it after that if you want. Add salt and pepper to taste. I didn't add any until I served it.
