What do yall use as a substitute when a recipe calls for COM soup in order to make it gluten-free?

I use Progresso Creamy Mushroom soup. If it's too thin, thicken it up with some corn starch.

Thanks Lisa! Is it in a jar or can?

It's in a can and you can find it where all the other soups are in the grocery store.

I saute some mushrooms(whole, sliced, diced, whatever) in butter (dairy free in our case) then add enough of whatever kind of milk you use to make the full amount for the recipe. Then whatever starch/flour thickener you would use in a gravy. Homemade will have way less salt than the canned version so you may want to add some.

I use a combination of sour cream, chicken broth, and mushrooms sauteed in butter (I usually add garlic and onion, too).

i love progresso's cream of mushroom, but it's so hard to find here! most of our grocery stores don't have it, so i when i do find it i stock up!!!

I buy a can of mushroom stems and pieces add the whole thing liquid and all to the food processor and chop it up. To that in a pan over low heat add a cup of whipping cream or half & half, some salt and pepper, thicken it up with some corn or tapioca stach. It takes only a few minutes and is delicious.

I've made condensed cream of tomato by using this recipe and using 1 cup tomato juice instead of milk and it worked great. (I omitted the chicken boullion)

Stir in butter, bouillon, salt, and pepper.

I can recommend something not to try. Don't use Health Valley Organic Cream or Mushroom. The stuff tastes like a bad combination of vinegar and pepper. It's also to runny to be used in casseroles and such.

Our experience with Health Valley Organic Cream of Mushroom was just the opposite. We just had Salisbury Steak and used this soup for the gravy combined with some Lipton Recipe Secrets Onion Soup, and it was enjoyed by all. It's more like Campbell's than Progresso is. Progresso is more mushroom (which the kids don't like that much) and little soup. Health Valley also makes Cream of Celery and Cream of Chicken, which I plan to try next in casseroles, etc. I did thicken the soup near the end to make the gravy a little thicker. I cook for a 15 yo who is pretty picky, so was pleased that he really liked this gravy. Of course, you have to try it yourself since we all have different tastes.

I just made beef stroganoff with the pregresso cream of mushroom soup and it was really good! and instead of noodles i put it over rice and my family liked it better :)

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @science enthusiast Christi! I don't have a problem with disaccharides but I do with polysaccharides and complex carbohydrates which are so common in many gluten free processed foods. Gar gum, xanthan gum, pea fiber, chicory root, inulin etc. All those "prebiotics".

      Hey Celiac friends,  I'm wondering how weird I am. About a year ago, I started getting bloated all the time and having extremely smelly gas. Lots of it. I had to avoid people, keep windows open, etc. It really upended my life in a somewhat horrifying way. I figured out that if I didn't eat any sugar, the symptoms mostly resolved. With more experimentation, I found out that I'm intolerant to any disaccharides (things with sucrose, maltose) and some starches. I've since figured my small intestine stopped making some digestive enzymes. Since Celiac causes the immune system to attack the small intestine, I wonder if I was getting low-level gluten contamination from my environment. (My family eats gluten in our home, and I have to use a shared kitchen at work for lunch.)  I am apparently among the 2% of Celiacs who also have a similar reaction to soy. I've been avoiding both gluten and soy for over a decade now, but sometimes you just get poisoned. For example, I love my houseplants and bought an insect-preventing spray online. After spraying it on all my houseplants, I found out it has soybean oil. Sure enough, two days later I was sick. Soy is such a big ingredient used in everything, I doubt it's possible for me to avoid it completely. Everyone uses lotions with soy on their hands, so every doorknob and switch and item I touch is risky for me.  I was just wondering, has anyone else had carbohydrate intolerance after or related to Celiac? My doctor doesn't know anything about it, especially since I can still digest lactose. Wondering if there are other people out there with similar stories. If eating was complicated before, now it's a bit crazy to be honest.  Thanks, Community!

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Healthierbody2026! Just let me check something with you because there is still much confusion in the general population regarding the terminology associated with gluten disorders. You say you have recently been diagnosed with gluten sensitivity. Do you mean NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) or Celiac disease (aka, "gluten intolerance")? The symptoms of these two conditions overlap. Celiac disease has an autoimmune base and so, there are tests that can be run to detect antibodies in the blood that are produced. Celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining because of the inflammation present from the autoimmune attack. This is not the case with NCGS for which there are no tests. Celiac disease must first be ruled out in order to arrive at a diagnosis of "gluten sensitivity".
