Prayerfully you have a store nearby where you can buy a couple of these ingredients. I am assuming your mom can't have wheat or gluten. The first ingredient on the Campbells brand cream soups is wheat. This recipe is gluten free and wheat free and it really works!

Gluten Free Creamed Soup Base
1 cup dry milk powder
1 cup rice flour
2 Tablespoons dried minced onions
1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper
3 Tablespoons GF powdered soup base (chicken or vegetable

Cream of Chicken Soup: In a small saucepan, blend 3-4 tablespoons of the base with 1/4 cup cold water. Add 1 cup hot or cold water (or chicken stock) and cook over medium heat, stirring until the soup thickens. Use 3 tablespoons for thin soup and 4 tablespoons for thick soup.

Cream of Mushroom Soup: Follow the directions of Cream of Chicken soup, using the liquid from one 4-oz can of mushroom bits and pieces as part of the water (reserving the mushrooms). After the soup thickens, add the mushrooms

I hope this helps! I've had to be on a gluten free diet since 1994 and I've learned a lot. I still bake regular bread and desserts for my family; but have some gluten free ones I enjoy. Let me know if you need anymore help. Just e-mail me at juldos@aol.com and put gluten free help in subject line.

Merry Christmas,
Julie D.

I'm assuming it's the "canned" portion that's the issue and not the cream? You may want to find out what the specific issue is- sodium, dairy, whatever, so you don't recreate the problem with your own homemade stuff.

What you want is a cream soup base recipe, after which you can add whatever ingredients you like. (Be sure to taste it to make sure it's got enough spices/salt- the canned stuff packs a whollup). You can find several options using a web search and then just match up whatever one you have the ingredients for. A "white sauce" recipe would probably work as well.

If you take a look at the ingredient list on your canned soups, you can get a pretty good idea of what you need to replicate. Basically you are going to want a blend of flour and milk with your other ingredients added to it. :-)

Casseroles are pretty forgiving, you should be fine. If not, maybe have some cold cuts on hand?

Here is a recipe I have in my recipe box. However, I can't remember if I've ever tried it. So I can't say if it's good or not.

Cream of Chicken Soup

1 cup, cooked cubed chicken
2 tbsp. chopped onions
2 tbsp. olive oil
3 tbsp. flour
2 cups chicken broth
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1/8 tsp. cayenne
1 cup rice milk (I'm sure you could use any milk)

Heat oil. Stir in flour. Mix in chicken broth. Stir constantly until bubbly and thickened. Add chicken, rice milk, onions and seasonings. Store in fridge up to 2 days.

Hope you have a wonderful week!
