Homemade gluten-free cream soups aren't hard to make and gluten-free sweet rice flour is an excellent thickener! Gluten-free cream of mushroom soup takes less than 20 minutes to make, with a creamy fresh flavor.

Gluten-free cream of mushroom soup is a versatile recipe because you can use it to make classic dishes like gluten-free tuna casserole.

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces fresh mushrooms (sliced)
  • 1/4 cup sweet onions (finely diced)
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 4 tablespoons gluten-free sweet rice flour
  • 1 cup low sodium gluten-free chicken broth
  • 1 cup light cream (or whole milk)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
  • Optional garnish: fresh basil (sliced)

Steps to Make It

  1. Gather the ingredients.

  2. Sauté mushrooms, onions, and garlic with butter in a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat for about 3 minutes.

  3. Sprinkle gluten-free sweet rice flour over vegetables and stir to blend the rice flour into the mixture. Continue to cook vegetables with sweet rice flour while stirring for 2 minutes.

  4. Gradually stir in gluten-free chicken broth and stir to blend.

  5. Add cream or milk and continue to cook over medium heat until soup thickens.

  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
