Grilled Cheese And Tomato Soup

I have been gluten-free for two months now and I haven't had any bread. Really, I'm not craving it at all. So that's good. But I could totally go for a grilled cheese with some tomato soup. MmmMmm good.

So. what's everyone's favorite gluten-free bread out there?

And tomato soup? Are there any gluten-free premade brands that I can just pop open the can, add some milk, and go?

That would be so super.

thanks!

Kinnikkinick is perfect for grilled cheese. Annie's makes a gluten free tomato soup that's pretty good. I had to do the same thing about a month in. :)

I like Pamela's Wheat Free Bread Mix. Smells, tastes and acts very much like wheat bread. I use it to make BLTs, PB&J, toast, really anything. Doesn't crumble or anything. It should work just fine.

I haven't tried making Grilled Cheese with it, but it should work out just fine. Might have to try that out.

I do the same thing as Elonwy. The kinnikinnick makes great grilled cheese, my son loves it. I was feeding him that almost everyday for a bit, as it was the only thing he would eat.

I also used the Amys Tomato soup. I think someone on here also posted a recipe on here too. If I remember correctly is was relatively easy.

oh yeah, I made the Gluten Free Pantrys Sandwich Mix too. That worked well too, not as good as the Kinnikinnick though.

I've made grilled cheese with Ener-G Brown Rice loaf and Light Tapioca. Spread with butter and grilled with cheese, they really aren't bad.

For soup, my favorite is Imagine Foods Tomato Soup in the quart sized aseptic package. It's supposed to be served "as is", but we all like to add a little water - I'm sure milk would be good too.

I also vote for the Kinnikinnick or Gluten Free Panty's French Bread mix.

I haven't had it in a while but Heinz makes a great gluten-free tomato soup. This is imported from ENGLAND and I used to find it in the import food at my grocery store. I had 3 cans the week I found it but now am avoiding nightshades and haven't had it in a while. It tasted just like campbells soup. If you find it call and make certain it is still gluten-free.

Amy's tomato soup is AWESOME!

I was a big grilled cheese and Campbell's tomato soup girl pre-diagnosis, but I think I've come to like Amy's soup better :P

The BEST bread I have ever eaten is from Whole Foods !! It doesn't taste anything like gluten free bread at all. It tastes like the normal white bread I ate before being diagnosed.

The kind I get is called "White Sandwich bread"

I must have tried every gluten free bread it seems and this one is hands down the best.

I personally love the pacific tomato soup in the original or the roasted red pepper i do believe is the other.. the soup comes in like a carton type thing and you refrigrate the rest. You can get it at kroger and wild oats that I know of.

For Bread I love the gluten free pantry favorite sandwhich bread mix its great I have made some fabulous grilled cheeses with it! I hope this is helpful

I've had the Imagine brand creamy tomato soup - it's pretty good and comes in a carton style which is convenient for taking to work.

I like Food for Life brand bread. My favorites are red rice, black rice and millet. The millet makes a great gilled cheese.

Where do you find gluten-free challah bread or do you make it yourself?

DS just asked for this today and I got the Amy's Creamy Tomato soup and we have the Gluten-Free Pantry French Bread.

I can't wait to try it, too!

Thanks, y'all. You totally made me blow my diet <_<

My grilled cheese made with the gluten-free pantry bread and the Amy's tomato soup was quite tasty, thought!

Hey thanks for the suggestion! It sounded so good I had grilled cheese and tom soup for supper :P

I had Pacific brand roasted red pepper and tomato soup (also in a carton like Imagine brand), with Foods By George english muffin. I zap the muffin (microwave) for 20 seconds each side, then cut in half, flip the ends over (sliced sides out), butter, stick cheese on the inside, and grill.

soooo yummy!

THANKS! :D

Because I teach and my school is freezing, (they love air conditioning!) I love a warm lunch.........hard to keep gluten-free grilled cheese edible that way, though.......

SO I buy pacific's creamy tomato soup (So yummy), zap it in the microwave and crumble Dr. Schar's Pizzirilli crackers on top........then a few slices of cheddar on the side.

YUM! It's my favorite lunch to pack for school

      Your Complete Gluten-Free Thanksgiving Plan: Recipes, Tips & Holiday Favorites

      Wow what a helpful article!! I am just seeing this now but I hosted a small group of family for Thanksgiving at my house this year and I did some of these things- got a butterball gluten-free turkey, got gluten-free stuffing, had a few gluten-free sides, and a gluten-free nothing-Bundt-cake. I had other non gluten-free things there too for others, and I also...

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      Thanks for responding. I researched further and Lindt Lindor chocolate balls do contain barely malt powder which contains gluten. I was surprised at all of the conflicting information I found when I checked online.

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      @BlessedinBoston, it is possible that in Canada the product in question is formulated differently than in the USA or at least processed in in a facility that precludes cross contamination. I assume from your user name that you are in the USA. And it is also possible that the product meets the FDA requirement of not more than 20ppm of gluten but you are a...

      Years  ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We  got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came down the road, laughed at our situation, then pulled the VW free of the mud. We followed him back to the ski area where where he started up the rope ski lift and we had an enjoyable hour of skiing and gave us a shot of aquavit  before we left.It was a great rescue.  In some ways this reminds me of your situation. You are waiting for a rescue and you have chosen medical practitioners to do it now or as soon as possible. As you have found out the med. experts have not learned how to help you. You face years of continuing to feel horrible, frustrated searching for your rescuer to save you. You can break away from from this pattern of thinking and you have begun breaking  away by using some herbs and supplements from doTerra. Now you can start trying some of the suggestions thatother Celiacs have written to your original posts.  You live with other people who eat gluten foods. Cross contamination is very possible. Are you sure that their food is completely separate from their food. It  is not only the gluten grains you need to avoid (wheat, barley, rye) but possibly oats, cows milk also. Whenever you fall back into that angry and frustrated way of thinking get up and walk around for a whild. You will learn ways to break that way of thinking about your problems.  Best wishes for your future. May you enjpy a better life.

      No,Lindt is not gluten free no matter what they say on their website. I found out the hard way when I was newly diagnosed in 2000. At that time the Lindt truffles were just becoming popular and were only sold in small specialty shops at the mall. You couldn't buy them in any stores like today and I was obsessed with them 😁. Took me a while to get around to checking them and was heartbroken when I saw they were absolutely not gluten free 😔. Felt the same when I realized Twizzlers weren't either. Took me a while to get my diet on order after being diagnosed. I was diagnosed with small bowel non Hodgkins lymphoma at the same time. So it was a very stressful time to say the least. Hope this helps 😁.

      @Jmartes71, I understand your frustration and anger.  I've been in a similar situation where no doctor took me seriously, accused me of making things up, and eventually sent me home to suffer alone.   My doctors did not recognize nutritional deficiencies.  Doctors are trained in medical learning institutions that are funded by pharmaceutical companies.  They are taught which medications cover up which symptoms.  Doctors are required to take twenty  hours of nutritional education in seven years of medical training.  (They can earn nine hours in Nutrition by taking a three day weekend seminar.)  They are taught nutritional deficiencies are passe' and don't happen in our well fed Western society any more.  In Celiac Disease, the autoimmune response and inflammation affects the absorption of ALL the essential vitamins and minerals.  Correcting nutritional deficiencies caused by malabsorption is essential!  I begged my doctor to check my Vitamin D level, which he did only after making sure my insurance would cover it.  When my Vitamin D came back extremely low, my doctor was very surprised, but refused to test for further nutritional deficiencies because he "couldn't make money prescribing vitamins.". I believe it was beyond his knowledge, so he blamed me for making stuff up, and stormed out of the exam room.  I had studied Nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology.  I switched because I was curious what vitamins from our food were doing in our bodies.  Vitamins are substances that our bodies cannot manufacture, so we must ingest them every day.  Without them, our bodies cannot manufacture life sustaining enzymes and we sicken and die.   At home alone, I could feel myself dying.  It's an unnerving feeling, to say the least, and, so, with nothing left to lose, I relied in my education in nutrition.  My symptoms of Thiamine deficiency were the worst, so I began taking high dose Thiamine.  I had health improvement within an hour.  It was magical.  I continued taking high dose thiamine with a B Complex, magnesium. and other essential nutrients.  The health improvements continued for months.  High doses of thiamine are required to correct a thiamine deficiency because thiamine affects every cell and mitochondria in our bodies.    A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function.  The cerebellum of the brain is most affected.  The cerebellum controls things we don't have to consciously have to think about, like digestion, balance, breathing, blood pressure, heart rate, hormone regulation, and many more.  Thiamine is absorbed from the digestive tract and sent to the most important organs like the brain and the heart.  This leaves the digestive tract depleted of Thiamine and symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a thiamine deficiency localized in the digestive system, begin to appear.  Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi include anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, headaches, Gerd, acid reflux, gas, slow stomach emptying, gastroparesis, bloating, diarrhea and/or constipation, incontinence, abdominal pain, IBS,  SIBO, POTS, high blood pressure, heart rate changes like tachycardia, difficulty swallowing, Barrett's Esophagus, peripheral neuropathy, and more. Doctors are only taught about thiamine deficiency in alcoholism and look for the classic triad of symptoms (changes in gait, mental function, and nystagmus) but fail to realize that gastrointestinal symptoms can precede these symptoms by months.  All three classic triad of symptoms only appear in fifteen percent of patients, with most patients being diagnosed with thiamine deficiency post mortem.  I had all three but swore I didn't drink, so I was dismissed as "crazy" and sent home to die basically.   Yes, I understand how frustrating no answers from doctors can be.  I took OTC Thiamine Hydrochloride, and later thiamine in the forms TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and Benfotiamine to correct my thiamine deficiency.  I also took magnesium, needed by thiamine to make those life sustaining enzymes.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins, so the other B vitamins must be supplemented as well.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   A doctor can administer high dose thiamine by IV along with the other B vitamins.  Again, Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine should be given if only to rule Gastrointestinal Beriberi out as a cause of your symptoms.  If no improvement, no harm is done. Share the following link with your doctors.  Section Three is especially informative.  They need to be expand their knowledge about Thiamine and nutrition in Celiac Disease.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test for thiamine deficiency.  This test is more reliable than a blood test. Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling.  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Best wishes!
