Kristis Gluten Free Cilantro Chicken Soup Recipes

KRISTI'S CORN SALAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, toss together the corn, zucchini, pimentos, red onion, and green chile peppers.
• In a jar with a lid, mix the olive oil, lime juice, cider vinegar, cumin, salt, pepper, and garlic salt. Seal, and shake well.
• Pour the oil mixture over the corn mixture, and gently stir to coat all ingredients. Cover, and chill at least 3 hours in the refrigerator before serving.

KRISTI'S SOFT BUNS (GLUTEN FREE!)

Steps:

• Combine pineapple juice and water. Add 2 tblsp brown sugar and all of the yeast. Stir to combine. If you put the yeast in too soon, the mixture will be too acidic and it will kill them, so be careful. Be sure your yeast is proofing before moving forward.
• Combine flours, starches and gums in the work bowl of your favorite mixer. Add salt, remaining brown sugar and 2 tblsp butter. Combine. Add egg and combine. Last, add yeast slurry and combine until dough starts to climb the paddle. Switch to your hook and knead for 8-10 minutes on medium.
• Using approximately 5 ounce portions, portion out your dough a piece at a time onto a floured work surface. Work just enough flour into each piece to be able to work it without it sticking to you and work each into a ball. Place the balls on a baking sheet or in a baking dish and squish them until the are about 1/2 the height of the "ball.".
• Cover with a moist towel and allow your buns to rise for at least 90 minutes. Set your oven to 350°F.
• Brush on remaining butter and sprinkle on any toppings you like. I like sesame seeds. Bake uncovered for about 50 minutes or until they are showing really nice color and both the tops and bottoms look done. Allow them to rest for 15 minutes to set their insides.
• Slice down the middle and have a sandwich. After all, you deserve one. :) These are also nice toasted.

KRISTI'S GLUTEN FREE CILANTRO CHICKEN SOUP

Steps:

• In a stock pot or large sauce pan, put in enough oil to fry up your garlic. Turn heat on med-high and once oil is warmed up, toss in garlic bits. Cook until they brown. Don't let them burn.
• Add onion and cook until onion is transparent, stirring regularly so garlic doesn't burn. Add broth and deglaze any stuck on garlic bits.
• While bringing to a boil, add carrots, celery, chicken and potato. Simmer until potato is soft.
• Add a small handful of cilantro, less than half of your total. Add the juice of two limes and a splash of white wine (don't be shy). Allow to simmer together for about 5 minutes.
• Turn off the heat and stir in the rest of the cilantro. Let sit for 5-10 minutes so the cilantro can release all of its flavor.
