Gluten Free Soups?

Does anyone know of a gluten free soup? Soup used to be my favourite food, and I miss it. Or does anyone have a good recipe for soup?

Thanks!

Several of the Progresso varieties are gluten-free. Soup is generally pretty easy to make and if you make it yourself you know it is gluten-free.

Here's a couple:

Easy Cream of Tomato Soup:

1 Part Ragu 'Old World' Pasta Sauce

2 Parts Milk

I usually add a tablespoon of butter for a richer taste; and when I have it on hand I stir in a tablespoon of cream; but even without, its great. Reminds you of Campbells Tomato Soup and so good with a grilled cheese sandwich.

Chicken Noodle Soup:

Whenever we have chicken and noodles, we always have a lot leftover because there are only two of us. After dinner, I add two or three cans of chicken broth to the chicken and noodles, and whatever veggies we had like carrots or peas or chopped up california blend, a little finely chopped onion and some celery if I have it, then give it a quick stir and put in the fridge. Makes a great quick lunch.

Watkins also have 3 gluten free Soup and Gravy Bases which I always keep on hand. They are Chicken, Beef and Cream. The Cream base makes a good Potato Soup with some celery and onion added; and also New England Clam Chowder. (With Watkins I always taste as I go because too much of the base makes it too strong)

Hope this helps...we love soup too.

I'm also a soup lover; and that was a big thing for me to find gluten free soups too.

As mentioned, Progresso has a lot of gluten-free soups. They will clearly label, so just read the ingredients.

Wolfgang Puck also has a lot of gluten free soups. The french onion soup is my favorite.

Heinz also has a tomato soup that tastes just like the Campbell's one I missed. It's not in the regular soup isle, but rather in the international isle with the products from England.

Open Original Shared Link has many gluten free soups. This link goes directly to their Special Diets Gluten Free list, and they have much more to offer than soups.

I've used the Pacific Brands without reaction but read the labels carefully. I've found products by them that have wheat starch but claim to have no wheat protein and therefore is gluten-free.

Their organic French Onion soup is listed as gluten-free. When I clicked on the nutrition info it listed: Filtered water, organic onions, natural sauteed onion concentrate (onions, salt, butter, onion powder, yeast extract, natural flavor), white wine concentrate, organic flavor (organic onion flavoring, organic sunflower oil), organic cane sweetener, sea salt, autolyzed yeast extract, organic garlic powder, carrageenan. Contains milk and wheat.

They also have this statement with some of their products: This product is gluten free. Gluten Free (By definition this means less than 10 ppm gluten.)

I also found this in their FAQ: We also have produced products that contained wheat in the form of wheat fiber, but not wheat gluten since there is no protein present in the fiber (gravy formulas prior to 2007, and Organic French Onion Soup).

I personally like this brand because they give you a lot of information about their ingredients and are clear (at least on their website) about what they mean by gluten-free since there is not a regulatory definition in the US right now.

The Pacific Foods creamy tomato is the best tomato soup I've ever had. They have a butternut squash that's good too. Imagine foods has a bunch of gluten-free soups as does Amy's and Health Valley. There is a lentil and a veggie soup that are really good (I think it's Amy's)

Thank you all, I can't wait to have soup again!

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
