Allergen Alert!

Milk and butter are a no-go if you’re avoiding dairy, but no worries! Just use coconut or rice milk instead of regular milk. Soy-free, nondairy butter will work instead of butter.

If you cannot eat wheat, use rice flour instead of all-purpose flour.

Make sure you check the label of your chicken broth to be sure it is soy free!

1. Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch (2.5-cm) cubes on the cutting board with the chef’s knife.
2. Heat the oil in a skillet on a burner set on medium-high. Add the chicken and use the tongs to flip and stir. Cook about five minutes, or until no longer pink inside. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Clean your knife and cutting board. Then chop the onion and celery into small pieces and set aside.
4. Add the butter to the large soup pot and melt over medium heat.
5. Put the onion and celery in the pot and stir gently. Allow to cook for about three to four minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.
6. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir until absorbed into the butter.
7. Pour in the chicken broth and milk, and stir quickly.
8. Increase the heat to medium-high until the soup begins to bubble softly. Reduce the heat to medium.
9. Add the frozen vegetables, salt, pepper, and the cooked chicken to the pot.
10. Cook for 30 minutes before serving.
