Homemade Cream Of Soup Mix

bluejeangirl Contributor

I haven't tried this since I just found it but I think it'll be nice to have on hand. I make alot of things with cream of mushroom soup. The hard part will be finding a bouillon granule that is gluten free,...maybe someone knows of one?

Gail

Homemade Cream of Soup Mix

2 cups powdered milk

3/4 cups cornstarch

1/4 cups chicken, beef, vegetable bouillon granules

2 tablespoons dried onion flakes or 1 teaspoon of onion powder

1 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed

1 teaspoon dried basil or marjoram, crushed

1/2 teaspoon black or white pepper

Combine all ingredients and blend until mixed. Store in an airtight container in a cool dry place for up to 1 year. This recipe makes 3 cups and is enough for 9 cans of soup.

To substitute for one can of condensed cream soup:

In a 1-quart saucepan or microwave safe bowl, combine 1/3 cup of soup mix and 1 1/4 cup water.

Bring to a boil or microwave on high for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

This can also be used as a quick fat free gravy, thin to the consistency you prefer.

Thanks for this list! I was just looking up a substitute recipe for "cream ofs" soups. I know that in the past year or so, Hy-Vee brand chicken bouillon granules are gluten free, if you happen to have one nearby- Open Original Shared Link

(This is their online list).

Thanks again for posting this!

Herb-ox bouillon is gluten-free. The Gluten Free Pantry also sells a Gourmet Spice called Chicken Flavor Broth Mix that I recently purchased but haven't tried yet. It is a powder and looks similar to bouillon and would probably work the same way.

Progresso also makes a gluten-free Cream of Mushroom soup (Vegetable Classics Creamy Mushroom) which I used in a chicken dish once and found it to be very watery. I think I'll make up a batch of the mix you've suggested since the colder weather is coming and I have some yummy crock pot recipes that require cream soup.

Thanks!

Wow! Thanks for all the suggestions. I was especially interested in the celery soup. Speaking of the boullion granules--I made a mix using the cubes and just ground them up as fine as I could. Worked well. I did find some chicken granules in a local store here.. It's a store brand--Flavorite. Seems to be gluten-free but I'm still trying the find out. I found the company online but haven't completed my "research".

Thanks again.

Hi Gail,

I did some searching and found out that the Flavorite chicken granules (and the beef, as well) is gluten free. This is a store brand found at a couple of places in my area (southern Illinois). I spoke to a Linda Smith at the company and she confirmed gluten-free. Her number is 866-877-7642. The UPC code of the item I have is 41130-05200. They like to have that information. Good luck. Your recipe is sooo easy!!

      @knitty kitty My whole family has migraines and I started getting them at age 19, so I'm not sure mine are related to gluten, although I do feel like obviously the more inflamed my whole system is, the more likely I am to suffer from more of these things.
    • knitty kitty
      @Alibu, Just wanted to add... Migraines can be caused by thiamine insufficiency.  I used to have them, regularly, but haven't since supplementing with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and Magnesium Threonate.  These forms get into the brain easily and really improve migraines.  I do still get Ophthalmic migraines which are triggered by computer screens.  It's permanent damage from nutritional deficiencies.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace test is a more accurate test for sufficient thiamine. Keep us posted on your progress!

      @knitty kitty Thank you for those, I will definitely bring them up!  I did send a message to my doctor basically asking what they think so I'll go from there.  He may very well just decide that this was enough to diagnose celiac, but I have no clue what his thoughts are right now.  I also asked for a second opinion on the pathology.
    • knitty kitty
      @HilaryM, Are you eating a diet high in carbohydrates?  You might find a Paleo diet easier on your digestive system.  A Paleo diet can promote changes in  intestinal flora, effectively starving out SIBO bacteria.   Be wary of gluten free processed foods.  Many are not enriched or fortified with vitamins and minerals lost in processing like gluten containing foods are.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing with vitamins and minerals while healing.  Vitamins are organic compounds that the body cannot make and so must get from the diet.   Supplementing ensures our bodies get a fair chance to absorb the essential nutrients it needs.  
    • knitty kitty
      @MelissaClinPsyD, I hope you investigate whether your participants take nutritional supplements.  The group of eight B vitamins, Vitamin D and magnesium have a big impact on mental health, especially depression.  I know correcting nutritional deficiencies were most important in my physical and mental health recovery!   There's more information and my mental health struggles in my blog.   Keep us posted on your progress!
