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.

Thanks! I am glad to know I don't have to give up hot dish. :P

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 just purchased Health Valley's Cream of Chicken Soup yesterday. I can't wait to get home for dinner! I haven't had Cream of Chicken soup in 10 years!!

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.

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
