Campbell's Soups?

[Stephanie1]

I'm really new to being gluten-free, and I was wondering about Campbell's soup. Cream of Mushroom and Cream of Chicken soup both contain "modified food starch". I know that can be questionable sometimes, but does anyone know if Campbell's specifically uses wheat starch? Does anyone have a list? I love cooking with these soups, so if you know of any other namebrands that have gluten-free cream of mushroom or chicken, that would also be helpful. THanks so much!

PS, If you are looking for a "cream of" type of soup. Progresso makes a creamy chicken and wild rice and also a creamy mushroom. They are not condensed, but work well in recipes that call for condensed.

My experience in reading regular Campbell soup label is that they will state wheat/wheat flour. Most of their products do contain wheat. Be very careful in reading their labels.

Stephanie1,

The gluten-free list from Campbell's is very different if you are in Canada. Mine has less on it that the list provided in an earlier post. If you are getting the list for Canadian products, phone them and they'll pop the list in the mail right away. If you go to the website, you'll never get a response.

I was wondering why I never got a response from Campbells. I have had a few companies that have not responded to my e-mails. I guess I'll have to start calling. I wish the Canadian and US ingredients were the same. It would make shopping much simpler.

I thought that Campbell's chicken and rice soup was gluten-free. Has anyone had either good or bad experiences with it?

[Carriefaith]

I eat their chicken and rice soup. I haven't had problems with it.

Actually, I think I have been having problems with this soup lately, I've e-mailed the company to see if there is any chance of contamination and I'll post their response.

Thanks!

I have found that making my own cream of chicken soup base is economical and good. I make it in a powdered form and then just add water and heat it in the microwave if you want it thickened or you can just add the water and put it in a dish that will be cooked and it will thicken while cooking.

2 cups non-fat powdered milk

3/4 cup cornstarch

1/4 gluten free instant chicken boullion

2 T. Dried onion

1/2 t. pepper

1 t. thyme

Combine 1/3 c. dry mi with 11/4 c. water and microwave on high for two minutes. Stir soup and continue cooking about 1-2 minutes more to desired thickness. Add cheese, celery, herbs, mushrooms etc. Very good for scalloped potatoes.

Good Luck,

Bonnie

Thank u so much for the list I was looking for creamed soups.  Campbell's inquiries would never give me a real answer.

That info is 12 years old. Recipes change. Do not rely on this list.

I always called cambells the dangerous brand. lol joked about the red label being a warning. If you must know why I say this, I have 2 uncles that work at the plant in Paris Tx. I inquired into the packing lines from them and gluten contamination. The canning machines are used on rotation for lots of soups. They flush them and clean out with a kind of pressure washer apparently between runs. I was informed that if a allergen is used in one product there is a high chance of contamination of it into the next run. Hince you can not even trust the individual can ingredient labels on them for allergens. NOTE other plants and canning facilities might have dedicated machines but I know the one there does not. Look for gluten-free certified labels on stuff like that. I personally gave up on buying that kind of stuff. I make my own, also avoid the sodium bombs in that stuff. I can make a nice dairy free cream of mushroom using full fat coconut milk, and some mushrooms (when I can find safe ones ) and bring to a boil then simmer for 5-20mins depending on strength. I do this in large batches and then pour straight into mason jars and can it. Stuff keeps in the fridge in a sealed can for months.   You can do the same with chicken, celery, etc.     There is also a sweetened condensed coconut milk version for condensed milk alternatives that goes great in deserts, really try using a bit in place of heavy cream in deserts or adding a bit to various recipes for richness.       

I also suggest making your own canned soups. I do it in a huge stock pot or do crock pot versions. I load them into the 2 cup wide mouth mason jars for canned soup on the go. Just take it out, remove the lid, zap it and dig in with a spoon out of the jar. Doing this lets you control ingredients and sodium. I like to use kelp noodles or miracle noodles in these soups, try them with a broth and coconut milk base, add in curry paste for asian/indian soup. I love doing it with taco seasonings and diced tomatoes for Mexican themed one, you can add beans, rice, corn to this if you wish for a southwestern taco soup (I miss this myself). Beef broth, meat, beans, chili seasoning for beef soup, you can do beef stew with beef, carrots, potatoes, beef broth, cumin, and a bit of a starchy flour like potato flour for a thick and hearty one.  All kinds of soups can be made and canned,
