This is a great dairy free and gluten free cream of chicken soup. It tastes delicious and you’ll find all kinds of ways to use it.
Dairy Free Cream of Chicken Soup
When my daughter Cali was diagnosed with a wheat and dairy intolerance years ago it took some adjusting. It was almost like learning to cook all over again. One of the biggest challenges was taking some of our family favorite recipes and adapting them so that Cali could eat them. One of Cali’s favorite family dinners is Hawaiian Haystack. It is what she always picked for her birthday dinner. With a wheat intolerance and a dairy intolerance there was no way she could eat it as it contained cream of chicken soup which has both in it.
After a little experimenting I was able to come up with a dairy free and gluten free cream of chicken soup that tasted great and worked perfect. Cali was happy and I was happy that she could now, once again enjoy one of her favorite family meals! Yeah!!!
Dairy and Gluten Substitutions
In place of the cream/milk use coconut milk. Butter is used in the recipe as my daughter can have butter but if you can’t, use a product such as Earth Balance.
In place of flour use a gluten free flour mix.
How to Make Dairy Free Gluten Free Cream of Chicken Soup
- Melt butter in a pan, add in onion powder, salt and pepper.
- Stir in flour and cook for a minute or two
- Add in chicken broth and bring to simmer.
- Add in coconut milk and simmer until it thickens. About 12-15 minutes Add in shredded chicken and heat through.

This recipe was phenomenal! It tasted amazing! I might cut back a tiny bit on the salt next time, but it was otherwise perfect.
