Gluten Free Copycat of Carrabba’s Spicy Sicilian Chicken Soup

I love this spicy Sicilian chicken soup when I am craving comfort food or if I am not feeling well! There’s something about eating a little spice if you have a stuffy nose that helps IMO!

I used to love getting this soup before I knew that I had Celiac Disease! It was perfect on a cold day or if I was feeling under the weather!

I no longer eat at Carrabba’s because I have been glutened there twice! So, I no longer trust them. This lead me to create my own version from my memory of what it tasted like!


What do I need to make this Spicy Sicilian Chicken Soup?

You will need the following ingredients to make this recipe:

1 bag of frozen mirepoix or fresh mirepoix
olive oil
red pepper
2 medium sized red potatoes or 1 cup of diced radishes if you are eating keto.
Tomato paste
chicken stock- homemade or from a store.
chicken breasts or rotisserie chicken
can of chopped tomatoes
parsley
pepper
salt
Italian seasoning
red pepper flakes
garlic cloves
and an instant pot  or a crockpot.

• Mirepoix is a blend of chopped vegetables for soups and stews. It usually consists of onion, carrots and celery. 

How do I cook it in the Instant Pot VS the Crockpot?

I cooked it on the soup mode of my instant pot. I made it with raw chicken and it turned out perfectly. If you use the rotisserie chicken you would not need to cook it as long. Probably only 10-15 minutes. If you are using a crockpot or slow cooker, I would cook on low for 8 plus hours.


Tips for making this Spicy Sicilian Chicken Soup-

​If you are using raw chicken, it will take longer to cook. I removed the chicken after it was finished cooking and shredded it and returned it to the pot.

If you use rotisserie chicken, it will cook faster. You can shred it before adding it to the instant pot or crockpot.

If you want it spicier, add more red pepper flakes and black pepper.

I did not add pasta to mine as we are eating keto, however, you could add pasta to your soup if you like. 

I also substituted radishes for the potatoes to make it keto friendly.

TIPS:

If you are using raw chicken, it will take longer to cook than rotisserie. I removed the chicken after it was finished cooking and shredded it and returned it to the pot. 

If you use rotisserie chicken, it will cook faster. You can shred it before adding it to the instant pot or crockpot. 
If you want it spicier, add more red pepper flakes and black pepper. 

I did not add pasta to mine as we are eating keto, however, you could add cooked pasta to your soup if you like. 
I also substituted radishes for the potatoes to make it keto friendly.
