Thanksgiving sides that share those label rules are linked with the bowls below. Personal celiac decisions, including oats if a garnish uses them, belong with a clinician.

Soups and Stews recipes

Common questions

Which thickeners belong in a gluten-free fall stew?

Cornstarch or arrowroot stirred into a cold slurry, a scoop of mashed potato, or a puree of the beans already in the pot will thicken a stew without wheat flour. A rice-flour roux works when you want the same butter-and-flour step, using a labeled gluten-free blend.

Can chowder use flour without wheat?

Yes, if the flour is a labeled gluten-free blend and the pot was not used for a wheat roux the same day. Chowder potatoes also thicken the soup as they cook, so many pots need less flour than a wheat recipe calls for.

How should Thanksgiving soup stay off a wheat gravy pot?

Give the gluten-free soup its own pot, spoon, and ladle, and keep wheat-flour gravy on another burner. A shared whisk moves flour dust into an otherwise careful bowl. Broth, seasoning packets, and any canned soup in the recipe still need a gluten-free label that day.

Is chicken broth gluten-free?

Chicken broth is gluten-free only when that carton says so. Yeast extract and natural flavors are the usual surprise, so a fall stew still starts with a labeled carton. Thicken with cornstarch or a rice-flour roux, and use gluten-free tamari where a recipe would have used wheat-brewed soy sauce.
