My German mom used to make homemade chicken soup and add Eierstich (egg custard - see recipe: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/soup/other-soup/eierstich-egg-custard-soup-garnish.html?r=1) If you make the soup with no noodles, it could easily be gluten-free. This version is a typical Amish recipe, especially with the apple included.
