Gluten Free Cream of Chicken Soup Recipe

GLUTEN FREE CREAM OF CHICKEN SOUP

One can’t just turn their eyes away from the mouthwatering cream-filled glutton free cream of chicken soup. Unfortunately though, I have to , because 99% of the soups aren’t dairy free and low in FODMAP. But I didn’t lose my heart, as they say , where there is a will there is a way. After trying billions of gluten free cream of chicken soup recipes, and cherry-picking out of those, I came up with the best of the lot gluten free, dairy free and low FODMAP recipe. Gluten free cream of chicken soup can be used with any recipe. It can be used with a number of dishes, enhancing the taste of everything.

IS CANNED CREAM OF CHICKEN SOUP GLUTEN FREE?

Sadly no. Most of the canned cream of chicken soups that are in the stores are not gluten free. Take Campbell’s Cream of Chicken Soup’s example, Is it gluten free ? Not at all. As a matter of fact we do have some gluten free canned cream of chicken soups, at our grocery stores but I personally make my own more often because it’s super easy and doesn’t compromise with the taste. Is Campbell’s Cream of Chicken Soup Gluten-Free? No it’s not. In US, Campbell’s maintains a list of their products that are gluten-free and , this product is not one of them. None of it’s soups are Gluten free.

CAN YOU MAKE CREAM OF CHICKEN SOUP GLUTEN FREE?

Yes, certainly you can. There are a number of recipes which require canned and condensed cream soup, like celery or mushroom soup. Normally what families like to consume is canned condensed cream soup, and it may cause problems when one has to eat gluten free or dairy-free and they don’t have the choice as canned cream condensed soup has both types. There a also many avoidable items present in the canned cream of condensed soup like fillers, preservatives, MSG, and other junks. So, in short and sweet rather than consuming what’s in the market, a more healthy and easier substitute is to make your own. All it takes is five minutes to prepare.

Gluten Free cream of chicken soup is one of those things you never really appreciate until the first time you need a can of cream of chicken soup and you realize that Campbell’s cream of chicken soup is thickened with wheat flour.

How To Make Gluten Free cream of chicken soup

Luckily I figured out how to make Gluten Free chicken soup and conveniently made this recipe approximately the same size as one can of Campbell’s condensed cream of chicken soup. I’m a genius aren’t I? So if your recipe calls for two cans of cream of chicken soup just double the recipe.

Simple enough right?

Even though this particular recipe is not dairy free you can easily replace the heavy cream with your favorite unflavored milk substitute and still turn out with an excellent product – trust me I’ve tested it.

• kjsmoma can this be frozen??
  • https://gfmagazine.com/ admin Yes. The consistency will change but still works well in recipes.
• guest Can you use water instead of broth to make it more like plain gravy?
  • https://gfmagazine.com/ Admin I have not tried that.
  • Kelly Branchal Maybe try an onion broth or vegetable broth instead. That’s what I plan to do tomorrow.
• Kathy Hardy Thank you!!!!!! Do you have a cream of broccoli soup recipe? I miss this as well.

    • Patty Hurry and post the cream of broccoli soup it was one of my favorites and I haven’t been able to have it since going gluten.dairy free. I cant wait!!!
• Katie Sparks How about Cream of Celery Soup. I use a lot of it. The GF can soup I tried just was not as good. And quite costly!
  • https://gfmagazine.com/ Admin I have a cream of celery soup recipe that I will be sharing soon.
• Jen Would you make a list of the different flour subsitutes, and write a thumbnail sketch of
  what the positive and negatives.
  Such as Potato, coconut, almond, tapicoa, rice
  and etc. Do all of them work well or the same in a cream sauce? baking goods? Why one may have more caution to use more than another? When is a combination of two or three best.
  Thanks.
  • https://gfmagazine.com/ Admin I have a lot on my plate right now but I think that is a great suggestion. I’ll add it to my to do soon list.
• Pat Tried this with almond milk and added some mushrooms plus I had large pieces of chicken. My husband loved it. He said much better than canned cream soups, which he likes to eat in the winter. I will be making this again during the winter months. Making this on my own I know it is gluten and dairy free. Great for my granddaughter who is gluten and dairy sensitive.
  • https://gfmagazine.com/ Admin Glad to hear that you and your husband love the recipe!
• Natalie This is not only a good GF recipe, it also does not have the MSG or some form thereof, that all of the canned condensed soups have. Thanks for sharing.
  • https://gfmagazine.com/ Admin You’re welcome.
• Charlene Can you can this in a pressure cooke
• Val Is it supposed to be thick like condensed soup? I used cornstarch and then ended up putting it back on the heat and adding an additional 1 1/2 Tb of rice flour to thicken it. Maybe I did something wrong? Or does cornstarch not get as thick as potato starch? It is REALLY YUMMY! Thanks so much for sharing!!!
• Maureen Realize this has been up a while. Just wanted to say thanks for posting. There have been several crock pot recipes and casseroles that I haven’t been able to make since going gf because they include condensed soup as a base ingredient. This helps a ton! Appreciate the effort you made in sharing it.
• Tina I love the fact that you made this recipe to replace the amount of one can of soup. I will definitely be trying out this recipe when I make my next batch of soup.
• disqus_sLbKPVeKyl Every time I have made this this way, I find that adding the potato starch or whatever thickener at the very end makes it lumpy. I have much better luck adding in the thickener to some liquid before hand and mixing it in that way. It doesn’t mix in with heated liquid well.
• Crystal Newsom-Davis To make this with mushroom what type of mushrooms should I use?
