My sister sent me a recipe for Baked Potato soup that has 2/3 cup all purpose flour. (She sent the recipe at my request - I knew it contained flour - she's not being insensitive.) I sort of think the flour might just be for thickening.

Would I be able to do a straight substitution with sweet rice flour or should I use a blend of something?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I either keep my own gluten-free baking mix (Carol Fensters cook book) or a package of Bob's Red Mill Baking Mix (Arrow Head Mills also now has one) on hand for things that call for flour like your soup. I just use the same amt of whatever it calls for and it seems to work fine. The mix from Carol's cookbooks don't have bean flour whereas some others do, but they all seem to work!

I do the same.. I use a modified Carol Fenster blend and sub it 1:1 for flour. I have not used sweet rice flour though so don't have the comparison.

Linda ~ I also have good baked potato soup recipe that I know works, even with Carleigh's restrictions.

I use rice flour or cornstarch to thicken my soups.

I also use corn starch. Tonight, I made some Potato Soup:

Cook Potatos in Swansons Chicken broth and mash when cooked.

Add fresh chives

Add butter cheese (lots)

Salt and Pepper

Add 1/2 and warm just before serving

Top with sour cream and bacon bits.......yummy :)

edit: Add half and half (oops)

I'd try Bob's too. I've used it with total success in making stuff like gravy, bechamel sauces, cheese sauces, etc. It works 1:1 in those cases. I've never tried it with that much in a recipe though so not sure if there's an odd taste that might come up. With gravy and sauces though you honestly can't tell the difference between that and regular flour.

for that soup, I'd check which of the potato ones can be used for thickening (the flour or the starch) and use that one, but that's me. rice flour would work too. there are just a few gluten-free flours that don't work well for thickening at all.

Only ONE of them will work - only the right one. The other one will turn your soup to glue. Unfortunately, I don't remember which is which at the moment. :(

      Contradicting length of time for gluten challenge - please help to ensure not getting false negative. Thank you!

      Good luck to you.  I would not get past that first slice of bread.  I would be vomiting and have diarrhea within 30 minutes and it would continue for hours and I would feel like I was hit by a truck for days.  My functional medicine doctor told me to stop taking Calcium and to significantly up my Vitamin D, add K2, lots of Magnesium, some boron and collagen.  This was all recommended after taking the Spectracell test for nutrient deficiencies.  Started doing this at 54 when diagnosed and at 72 no issues with the old bones.

      Gluten-Free House Swaps

      By Recently diagnosed · Posted

      I live in Ottawa Canada and would be interested in a swap with someone who also has a gluten-free house. I’d love to swap out in winter for somewhere warm.

      By trents · Posted

      @KRipple, thank you for the lab results from your husband's celiac disease blood antibody testing. The lab result you share would seem to be the tTG-IGA (Tissue Transglutaminase IGA) and the test result is in excess of 10x normal. This is significant as there is an increasing tendency for physicians to grant a celiac disease diagnosis on the basis of antibody testing alone when the scores on that particular test exceed 10x normal. This trend started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was tremendous pressure on the medical system over there and it has spread to the USA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. All this to say that some doctors would grant a celiac disease diagnosis on your husband's bloodwork alone and not feel a need to go forward with an endoscopy with biopsy. This is something you and your husband might wish to take up with his physicians. In view of his many health issues it might be wise to avoid any further damage to his small bowel lining by the continuing consumption of gluten and also to allow healing of such to progress. The lining of the small bowel is the place where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. This is why celiac disease when it is not addressed with a gluten free diet for many years typically results in additional health problems that are tied to nutritional deficiencies. The millions and millions of tiny finger-like projections that make up the nutrient absorbing surface of the small bowel lining are worn down by the constant inflammation from gluten consumption. In celiac disease, the immune system has been tricked into labeling gluten as an invader. As these finger-like projections are worn down, the efficiency of nutrient absorption becomes more and more compromised. We call this villous atrophy.
