Gluten-free Low-carb Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup (xanthan gum)
In this version of gluten-free low-carb condensed cream of chicken soup I use xanthan gum to thicken the soup. Because it takes a very small amount of xanthan gum, it only adds 0.5 grams of carbs to each serving. All the rest of the carbs are from the onion, garlic, and celery.
If you do not like to use xanthan gum, my other Gluten-free Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup (corn or tapioca starch) uses cornstarch or tapioca starch as a thickener. That does increase the carbs to 9 grams per serving (compared to 5 grams per serving for this version).
