Amy's Organics makes quite a few soups that are gluten free and are labeled as such on the label on the back next to the ingredients.

My daughter loves the Cream of Tomato soup.

Healthy Choice has four for sure that I know of and they are so good. Their split pea, bean with ham, country vegetable and chicken with rice are all gluten-free. This is nice as they are usually available at the regular grocery store. If you have a Pick and Save you might look there....mine carries them.

shelton's makes some great soups. they have all natural chicken products. i love their tortilla chicken soup. they say gluten-free on the can.

What do I use when a recipe calls for cream of mushroom, or cream of chicken soup?

[VegasCeliacBuckeye]

I believe Progresso has a Creamy Mushroom Soup that is gluten-free...

Pacific Soups have gluten free mushroom soups, I think....

You will have to make your own Cream of Chicken Soup, though.....

Progresso Cream of Mushroom Soup can be used for cooking...although it has losts of sliced mushrooms in it and it is more liquid than Campbells.

Maybe someone can help me here. I bought Health Valley, Organic Cream of Chicken Soup. I read the label and thought it was gluten-free ... am I wrong? Here are the ingredients: filtered water, organic cream, organic rice flour, organic chicken, organic soy protein, organic corn starch, organic chicken broth, salt, organic celery concentrate, organic canola oil. autolzed yeast, organic garlic powder, organic chicken flavor, organic onion powder, natural butter flavor, organic white pepper, organic thyme, organic bay leaves, organic turmeric (for color).

Thanks for your help!

Okay, I called the company this morning. This soup is gluten-free BUT it is processed in the same place as foods that contain gluten. In fact, ALL their products are. So, with a chance of cross contamination, do you not eat anything they make? I am confused at this point as it seems so many gluten-free products have a chance of being cross contaminated. PLEASE HELP!

I was under the impression that Campbells soup is not gluten-free (except for and a Broccoli Chunky Cheese)

Is that accurate?

[luvs2eat]

Correct... Campbells Cream of Mushroom is NOT gluten-free. Progresso Creamy Mushroom is.

Now, if I can figure out how to french fry onions... I can make green bean casserole!!! Woo-hoo!!

[VegasCeliacBuckeye]

Green bean casserole.....I have had my frustrations with this dish...

Can anyone help out here?

I think this year I am going to try "canned green beans" -- in the past, I used frsh green beans that I boiled for 10 minutes, but the consistency never came out like "grandma's"

I added the Progresso Soup and baked it for like an hour -- the "casserole" never came out correct...

Any thoughts??

--EDIT

Well, I found this recipe -- maybe chicken stock is where I went wrong -- but this lady only cooks hers for 10 minutes also -- maybe I had too many things in the oven?? Maybe I need to cut them shorter and in halves??

1/3 stick butter

1/2 cup diced onions

1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms

2 cups sliced green beans

3 cups chicken broth (make your own or use gluten-free bouillon)

1 (10 3/4-ounce) can cream of mushroom soup (Progresso Creamy Mushroom)

1 (2.8-ounce) can French-fried onion rings (need to make these gluten-free)

Pinch House Seasoning, recipe follows

1 cup grated Cheddar

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Melt the butter in a large skillet. Saute the onions and mushrooms in the butter. Boil green beans in chicken broth for 10 minutes and drain. Add the green beans, mushroom soup, onion rings, and House Seasoning, to taste, to the onion mixture. Stir well. Pour into a greased 1 1/2-quart baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes, then top the casserole with the Cheddar and bake for 10 minutes longer, or until the casserole is hot and cheese is melted.

House Seasoning:

1 cup salt

1/4 cup black pepper

1/4 cup garlic powder

Campbells Chicken and rice is NOT gluten free, I looked at a can yesterday and they put wheat starch in it. Progresso's chicken and wild rice is though also their split pea and new england clam chowder, cream of mushroom and maybe some others.

I sometimes cook down the progresso cream of mushroom a bit before adding it to my recipes, for a soup more like campbells reduce it down by a quarter. I found this helps keep my pasta from getting mushy in 'Mom's Tuna Noodle Casserole'

It could be the yeast but I would bet money on the chicken broth.

Many "gluten-free" labeled foods have the disclaimer about being processed in a facility that also processes wheat. This includes the Amy's brand of foods. I think it is highly likely that the level of contamination that might be in such foods is below the threshold for safety for those with celiac. If you don't experience a bad reaction to the food and you don't stay up all night worrying about whether you've been glutened, then you should continue to consume these foods. Otherwise, you'd better join the slow foods movement and cook everything from scratch.

In response to the first post in this thread, Baxter's soups clearly label whether they are gluten-free. For example, they have a gluten-free shrimp bisque; most similar soups have wheat in them.

Ken,

Just wanted to post this reply that I got from Amy's when I wrote to ask about cross contamination. I though it might help other newly dx'd people. Thanks for your response!

"We understand that it is critical that our products be free of gluten and we take this very seriously. To avoid cross-contamination, we generally manufacture full shift runs of single products with a full clean up between shifts. Pieces of equipment that come in contact with the food are cleaned and sanitized prior to the manufacture of the next product. We frequently test this product for gluten at University of Nebraska (FARRP) and have never found one that was positive for gluten."

This is good to know, Jo Ann. My use of the phrase "below the threshold of safety" was unintentionally ambiguous; you've cleared this up, at least for Amy's foods. I've been eating Amy's dinners once or twice a week for over a year. As a "silent celiac", I never really know whether I've been glutened unless I or my wife see the evil grains on my plate.

Progresso Chicken and Wild Rice soup states that it contains soy, milk and egg, it does not say anything about gluten. I looked at the ingredients list, and noticed that it contains MSG and Modified Food Starch (Does not list the source).

Did they change the recipe for chicken and rice? It's listed as gluten-free on the Delphi list, but it clearly says "modified wheat starch" on the label?
