Cream Soup Substitute

Many people think making that decision to eat gluten free means they have to give up all the foods they love for alternative foods.  However, I have made it a point to alter many of my existing recipes to make them gluten free.  That means we can enjoys many of the same foods, but still feel good.  For example, many recipes have the Cream of Mushroom or Cream of Chicken soups in them.  Since they are not gluten free, for a time, I had to give them up.  I went on a search to see if I could find an alternative so that I could still eat some of those same recipes.  There are many recipes out there to make your own Cream Soups.  This is the one that I like.

I found this mix at Cooks.com.  What I have done, is mixed up a lot of this mix ahead of time.  I keep the dry mix in a storage container in my pantry.  When I need soup, I measure it out, add water, and cook it up right there.  Recipes taste just as awesome as they did when just using the canned soup.  Maybe more awesome!!
