Gluten-Free Kettle Cuisine Tasty Enough For Anyone

TB_Kettle_chicken.jpgI have some friends with celiac disease — meaning their bodies can’t process gluten. (Gluten is the protein component of some grains, including wheat, rye, oats and barley.) So I’m always on the lookout for delicious products for them, which is how I discovered these Kettle Cuisine frozen soups and chilies.

These contain ingredients that I might toss into my own soup or chili pot. There are no preservatives, no artificial flavors, no artificial colors and no flavor enhancers (such as MSG). I like that. And, they're made using all-natural chicken and beef raised without antibiotics or growth hormones. I like that, too.

I'd recommend four of the five varieties to anyone, not only those avoiding gluten: Chicken Chili with White Beans, Angus Beef Steak Chili with Beans, New England Clam Chowder and, my favorite, Grilled Chicken & Corn Chowder. (I'd skip the just lackluster Chicken Soup with Rice Noodles.)

Available at $3.99 a 10-ounce serving at some Whole Foods or at www.glutenfreemall.com.
