Condensed Cream of Chicken or Mushroom Soup (Gluten Free)

Emily Elizabeth's Note:

This recipe is to be used for substituting when a recipe calls for condensed cream of chicken soup. Make a large batch of the powdered mix and store in your pantry so you have it on hand when needed. The powedered mix below will make 4.5 cans of condensed soup or 9 cans of regular soup. To make regular soup, simply cut the amount of powedered mix in half when cooking. This recipe is based on Bette Hagman's Cream Soup Base.

• Total Time: 20 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins

I am incredibly excited about this recipe! Thank you Emily for making my life easier. I discovered I had to eat gluten free last year and now my 17 yr old daughter has been told the same thing by her doc. So many of my "go-to" recipes called for cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup. I spent a ridiculous amount ordering a case of gf cream of mushroom only to find it was terrible and way to strong. You have answered my prayers with this one! I just used it to make Crock Pot White Chicken Chili Crock Pot White Chicken Chili, and it turned out fabulous! Can't wait to make Pot roast next :)

This receipe is wonderful! I tried the Cream of Chicken version and it turned out just perfect. Our young daughter has Celiac and we must eat Gluten Free. Cream of Chicken Soup is one item we've really missed for making some of our favorite dishes like Poppyseed Chicken. Thanks Emily for posting this. Our poppyseed chicken turned out perfect. R.A
