Progresso makes a gluten free cream of mushroom soup. I can't use it because of a soy intolerance but am going to try making it from a recipe in Bette Hagman's Gluten Free Gourmet because my husband likes hot dish too! :D

Hey RM,

The only recipe I've found in any of my gluten-free books so far is this one from Living Gluten Free for Dummies:

"Cream of" soups: Use chicken broth and sour cream or half-and-half. Remember to add the food the soup is cream of - mushroom, celery, potato, and so on - to complete the soup.

best regards, lm

Progresso has a gluten free "Creamy Mushroom" soup (not Cream of Mushroom). It is good...I heat it on the stove and thicken it a little bit with some gluten free flour.

Health Valley has a Cream of Mushroom and Cream of Chicken that are both gluten-free.

We use the Progresso ALL the time in our house....as do my parents and in-laws when they make casseroles and such for me.

Can you use rice flour as a thickener or would it be better to use corn starch. I'm actually trying to make a whitesauce as a base for a cheese sauce. I'm always leary of corn starch breaking down if it gets overcooked. What would you suggest?

Hi, I found this on Recipezaar. Looks pretty good. I haven't tried this though. Hope it helps!

My favorite thickener for sauces and gravies is sweet rice flour. So far, I haven't had any problems with it...

What is this "hot dish" you speak of? Never heard of it. lm

In general, I use one of the pre-packaged gluten free flour mixes (something along the lines of Bob's Red Mill, Arrowhead Mills, etc. etc.) I rarely use a "single" flour unless I'm making a certain recipe (i.e., for baking, when it calls for specific flours). I substitute "my" flour for anything that generally calls for flour :) Makes it easier on me that way!

Larry Mac, Hot dish is what we Minnesotan's call a Casserole!

I frequently use potato flour, expecially if I'm making a chowder or gravy.

Oh-oh-oh - your suggestion gave me a great idea. :)

I took some dehydrated toasted onions* (about 1T) in about a cup of chicken broth.

I simmered this for a while to soften up the onions.

Meanwhile, I put some Bob's Red Mill all-purpose gluten-free flour blend in some water and whisked it smooth (about 1-1/2 T in about a half cup water).

I added this to the hot broth while whisking, and this thickened it up well.

Now, this in itself would have been good.... BUT...

I had some of AndreaB's cashew cheese in the fridge, and added some of this (about 3/8 cup),. It melted and blended in with the thickened broth. Added some salt, too.

I poured this in a casserole dish over cooked green beans and had a GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE - gluten-free, corn-free, dairy-free, soy-free. I put this in the oven until bubbly.

I haven't had this casserole in years. I'm so excited!

The onions are Rokeach brand All Natural Toasted Onion - has only onions in it. I bought it at a Jewish grocery store and it's labeled "may be used for passover" which means there's no hidden corn in it (for those of you who have a corn-allergy).

Valda,

That is so wonderful! I think your recipe sounds great....you really have to think outside of the box when you have multiple issues...and it sounds like you are doing that wonderfully!

(at one point last year, for 6-8 months, I was reacting severely to all but about 8 foods, and my reactions included all dairy, soy, eggs, all grains-including rice, etc., potatoes, legumes, corn, etc. so I can sympathize. its so important to find things that "work.")

I am now able to use the above-mentioned cream of X soups, and it has been so nice to make "normal" recipes, just modifying it.

Enjoy green bean casserole! :) :) :)

I'm glad you asked the question about cream of mushroom soup, the responses you received will be so helpful to me to prepare things for my daughter who has celiac and crohn's disease.

Good luck with you meals and health.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep.  One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem.  Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read, do a sudoku or some other small task, and then go back to bed when she felt sleepy again.  I can't think it did her any harm - she lived  well into her nineties. Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.

      It could be a fructan intolerance? How do you do with dates?  https://www.dietvsdisease.org/sorry-your-gluten-sensitivity-is-actually-a-fructan-intolerance/
