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 :)

      @BelleDeJour, Have you thought about keeping a food mood poo'd journal?  Recording what and when you eat can help pinpoint possible culprits for your outbreaks.  A red dye additive used in some foods and drinks contains iodine.   Have you considered getting a genetic test to look for Celiac genes?  Having Celiac genes and a positive response to a gluten free diet can be used as part of a diagnosis of Celiac Disease without undergoing a gluten challenge.   Do get checked for Diabetes.  Activated Neutrophils are involved in making dermatitis herpetiformis blisters and they are also found in Diabetes.  Apparently, high glucose levels contribute to activating Neutrophils.  People with dermatitis herpetiformis have a 22% increased risk of developing Diabetes.  One study found a majority of people with dermatitis herpetiformis have four or more autoimmune diseases (Addison's, dermatitis herpetiformis, Diabetes, and thyroiditis being the most common). I have dermatitis herpetiformis and I developed Type Two Diabetes.  Ninety-eight percent of diabetics are deficient in Thiamine.  I changed my diet to the AutoImmune Protocol Diet and took Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine, that has been shown to increase insulin sensitivity.  I no longer have any symptoms of diabetes. Because half of Celiacs carry the MTHFR mutation, I supplement with methylated B vitamins.  Many of the B vitamins, including thiamine in the form Benfotiamine, improve the neuropathy that goes along with dermatitis herpetiformis (that itchiness without a blemish).   I take additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide).  Benfotiamine promotes intestinal health.  Thiamine TTFD improves Gluten Ataxia, brain fog, and fatigue.   I use J. Crow's  Lugol's iodine because I have had hypothyroidism.  It's rapidly absorbed through the skin, so it doesn't trigger the immune system in the digestive system.  Thiamine deficiency is also found in Hashimoto's thyroiditis.   And... Thiamine has been shown to calm down Neutrophils.  Calmed down Neutrophils don't make dermatitis herpetiformis blisters.  My skin has improved so much!   Hope this helps!

      There are some really good recipes here: Gluten Free Alchemist The woman that runs it is UK based, and has a daughter with coeliac disease. I think she might be a food scientist as she is extremely knowledgeable about the properties of different starches and flours etc. Coeliac UK have a lot of UK relevant information regarding coeliac disease, and also have a recipes section: Coeliac UK Find Me Gluten Free is a good resource to find gluten free places to eat out. You can use the website or download their app. Paying for the premium services gives more advanced searches: https://www.findmeglutenfree.com/

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! There are other things that may cause elevated tTg-IgA levels, but in general a reaction to gluten is the culprit:
