Gluten Free Broccoli Cheese Soup

Yummy, simple, and great even for gluten eaters! My daughter was very happy to be able to have Broccoli Cheese Soup again! The baking mix I used was a gluten free chicken coating mix. It was a mix of rice flour, brown rice breadcrumbs and seasonings. You could easily substitute this with any gluten free baking mix, rice flour, or your own mix of rice flour and rice breadcrumbs. Adjust your seasonings accordingly.
