process of making gluten free cream of Chicken Soup

Stir continuously, whisking as the mixture simmers.

Continue to simmer and stir/whisk until the mixture is smooth and thick, 3-5 minutes. The mixture will thicken more as it cools.

Remove from heat, stir in pepper & salt if using, let cool completely and transfer to glass jars or any type of sealed container (glass).

Use in your favorite recipes as a regular can of condensed cream of chicken soup.

Serving

  • Add this delicious soup to your favorite casseroles, soups, and others.
  • Make a double batch and keep refrigerated in a mason jar or similar for up to a week (freeze for up to 4 months).
  • The mixture will separate slightly but after reheating and thoroughly whisking will return the initial texture. Add a little milk along the way if needed.

Tips

  • The cream of chicken soup will further thicken once cooled, so don't worry if it is not as thick as you expect while making it.
  • Broth - preferably a low sodium version, bouillon cubes, vegetable stock powder, or make your own at home (make a large batch of the broth and freeze it, thaw before use in the fridge or kitchen counter). Vegetarian option - Veggie stock can be also used as a substitute.
  • Flour - the recipe will work with most of the gluten-free blends out there. In Europe, you can find a variety of Schar products which I love and in the US a great alternatives are Measure to Measure, Bobs Red Mill.
  • Seasonings - add salt and pepper to taste, I wouldn't add anything at all if using bouillon cubes. Mix things up by adding dried herbs, flavored salts, flavored black pepper, onion powder.

      Hi Patricia! I haven't tried but I think it should work. However the flavor will be slightly different (and it will also depend on the brand as well, some have stronger almond flavor and so on). Hope it will work!

    we now have 3 people in our family who either seriously need to be GF or discovered they carry the gene and want to be. Wow...what a change in my family meal planning! I will be making the GF version very soon. Some family favorites use cream of mushroom soup. Have you come up with a recipe for that? Thanks!!

      Karen, going completely gluten-free and feeling comfortable will take a bit of time but it's definitely do-able, just some old meals need little adjustment! For cream of mushroom, I'd recommend checking out some ideas online and making sure to use a good quality GF flour.

    Thank you so much for this recipe, but I am somewhat confused. Does it matter which spice to use? The ingredient list indicates garlic powder, but the instructions refer to garlic salt. It seems like this would make a difference, but I have not made it yet and am not sure.

      Hi Judy, garlic powder is what I meant. Sorry and thanks for pointing this out!
      I wouldn’t recommend adding any salt if your meat or veggie stock has it already.

    Being gluten free, I need to know what to sub for the flour---and how much.

      hi!
      I use gluten-free flour blend called Schar for this recipe. Any GF baking blend should be fine to use here!
