Hives in the Kitchen

Welcome! We are a homeschooling family in Texas- so we've never been normal by any standards- but with the addition of our third little one, we have entered into the overwhelming and really unfun world of food allergies. Our little girl is allergic to egg white, wheat, soy, dairy, peanuts, sesame seeds, bananas, avocados, pineapples, melons, tree nuts, coconuts, flax seeds, quinoa, and sunflower seeds. This is our life as we stave off starvation and try to maintain sanity.

Allergy Free Chicken Noodle Soup

This is another favorite with the little ones. I add tons of veggies to it and call it "Rainbow Soup" and I can get them to eat every bite!

Chicken Noodle Soup

Cover the bottom of a large pot with olive oil and add:

3 garlic cloves diced (or more---we love garlic)

chopped carrots

chopped celery

chopped bell peppers (red, green, yellow, and orange)

1 chopped onion

1 bay leaf

4 thyme sprigs

Saute until fragrant about 7-10 minutes.

Chicken broth

Cooked chicken

Tinkyada pasta

Salt, pepper, parsley, and basil

Add chicken broth--you will need enough to more than cover the veggies. (I always end up having to add more...) Simmer until veggies are tender. In the meantime, cook pasta. Drain and rinse pasta and then add to pot with cooked and diced chicken. Add salt, pepper, parsley, and basil to taste. Comfort food! And Princess Approved!
