Gluten and Dairy Free Chunky Potato Soup

It seems like lately, I have lots of friends who have discovered the need to go gluten free. I have heard the problems they have finding recipes that are good. This recipe comes courtesy of my boss, who is trying a new food program as she calls it. The soup is both gluten and dairy free. I was a bit skeptical of this recipe, but it was delicious!! It is not the typical potato soup but has great flavor and the kids loved it.

Crusty Italian Bread makes 2 loaves 1 1/3 cups warm water 2 1/4 teaspoons yeast 1 Tablespoon brown sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil 4 cups flour Place warm water, yeast and brown sugar in mixing bowl. Stir and let stand for a few minutes until it start to bubble and foam a bit. Add olive oil and salt. Mix and add the flour gradually. You want to add enough that the dough comes away from the sides of the bowl. You want to mix it with the dough hook for a few minutes. Cover and let the dough rise until doubled about 30 minutes.

Layer one or two slices of ham, 1 slice of cheese. Then add a small amount of shredded chicken on top. Fold the edges of the ham around the cheese and chicken.
