I use cream of celery/mushroom/chicken for a lot of my cooking. Not so much anymore as Campbells is not gluten free - from what I have read :(

Progresso has a creamy mushroom soup that is gluten free. I used it last week to make tuna noodle casserole (with gluten free corn pasta). Instead of adding a can of soup and a can of milk I just put in the can of Progresso Soup with no additional liquid (it is not as thick as Campbell's condensed) and followed the rest of the recipe as I always have. It tasted very good.

I just started using these. My daughter likes them better than Tinkyada. I usually buy Sams Mills brand online. The lasagne corte are similar in shape to egg noodles. Once (and only once) my daughter found them at Big Lots for 99cents for a one pound bag. I keep looking hoping they get them again at this price, but so far no luck :(

You can also make your own cream soup base and flavor it any way you like--

Gluten Free Cream Soup Base

modified from Bette Hagman's recipe

1 c. dry milk powder

1 c. white rice flour

2 Tbs. dehydrated minced onions

1/2 tsp. pepper

1/2 tsp. salt

Mix together. Store on the counter.

To make cream soup from the base, mix together:

1/4 c. base

1/4 c. cold water

Add:

1 c. hot chicken broth. Cook and stir over medium heat until thick and bubbling.

Campbell's makes me so mad, too!!! I miss the condensed cream soups (especially Cream of Mushroom) as they are used in so many recipes. I've tried Progresso Creamy Mushroom and while I like to eat it a lot, it hasn't worked as well in recipes as I'd like.

I emailed them last week inquiring about the Bean with Bacon as I didn't find any offending ingredients on the label. I have a recipe for Kielbasa Bean Soup using the Bean with Bacon as the base. I think it's a BH&G recipe dating from the 70's and is so yummy and also easy - tastes like homemade.

Here is their response. My comments specifically referred to the cream soups. I don't know why they have to use wheat in everything.

..... we received your message and appreciate your taking the time to contact Campbell Soup Company.

We are happy to share our Gluten Free list with you. Please visit Open Original Shared Link where you can download the most current gluten free list.

Campbell's primary concern is the safety of our consumers. Each of our soup recipes is hand crafted, which explains why some soups contain food starches and others do not. Many of our soups share manufacturing processes and equipment with gluten containing ingredients and products. For this reason, Campbell's has decided not to label gluten-free on soups where we could not ensure compliance with our strict gluten-free standards.

We have forwarded your comments on to the appropriate department. We appreciate feedback like yours because it helps us become aware of consumer preferences and concerns.

Thank you for visiting the Campbell Soup Company website. Campbell Soup Company Web Team

What could you use if you are avoiding dairy?

Rice/almond/soy milks.

I was dairy free for 5 years, for cream sauces I used Pacific rice milk.

How about almond milk and soy butter? Or whatever butter substitute you prefer.

Thanks. I was not sure if almond milk would work or not. I've been making my own and using it for smoothies, cereal and in baking. I recently used it in my pancake recipe and it was delish.

There is this brand of condensed soups I have found at HEB's called Tasty classics. It is a product from Canada. I think they have it as one of their generic soups. I find them on the bottom shelf. It is a light gray can. They are gluten-free. They aren't labeled gluten-free, but there is no gluten on the label. We use this brand and it always turns out wonderful!

It has MSG in it though :(

Ugh, Campbells. I took a big hit from that the first time my mom attempted to cook a gluten-free meal for me (she was careful with the big ingredients- no added flour, made sure rice was okay, etc) but never thought to check the soup label before she added it to the recipe as she wasn't expecting wheat flour in the tomato soup. Her mind has been totally blown by the amount of crap that is added to our food, now that she's learned to read all labels.

THANK YOU for the creamed soup base recipes! I just spent an hour looking thru an awesome crockpot cooking list and every other recipe used a Campbells soup! Now, I can consider trying the recipes!!

I'm dairy and soy free as well as gluten free and make a home made tuna noodle casserole that is super yummy.

I make a roux of gluten-free flour (Bob's Red Mill) and light olive oil.

Then add hemp milk or coconut milk (So Delicious makes a coconut milk that is not coconut-y in flavor)

I use Tinkyada pasta but the trick is to undercook it. This way it's not mushy in the casserole.

I add tuna, mushrooms, peas and pimentos and season to taste.

Plop it all into a baking dish and top with gluten-free bread crumbs (I save the ends from my home baked loaves and freeze them for making bread crumbs)

I have also used potato chips (is that so 1972 or what?)

It comes out awesome.

      starting to heal, vitamin d deficiant but cannot tolerate vitamins. what to do? also multiple ongoing issues.

      By kopiq · Posted

      Hi all, I was diagnosed by blood work about 2 months ago and have since went on a strict gluten free diet. I have an endoscopy in January and the GI dr said nothing about staying on gluten for it; hes aware i went no gluten. starting to heal symptoms include: (this is huge) sensation coming back to genitals and when having a bowl movement. everything has been numb for a long time down there including lower belly button area. good size (not abnormal) bowel movements once a day or every two days. small dot size wart just fell off my finger that was there for years. have not broke out with a cold sore this winter (every winter prior for years i would develop a cold sore on my lip) Ongoing issues I don't sweat. not from my hands, or armpits or feet. I do not get butterflys in stomach. my hands have been so dry for years ive been using a crack cream as they crack and bleed very severely in the fall and winter.  (since going gluten free ive not used crack cream but they are still very very dry and chapped/flaky, no sweat or moisture in palms of hands at all. I dont crave food. i have no cravings at all, not for pizza, ice cream , nothing. my cravings are dead. smell of foods kinda make me hungry, but my stomach blocks it. pins needles in feet get weak legs standing up from sitting and dizzy, things almost turn black. i cannot tolerate veggies or vitamins. Iam vitamin D deficient according to my Dr and Ive tried vitamin D pills. they give me a massive migraine for 8 hours and upset my stomach. the heat from the direct sun make me extremely tired to the point of wanting to pass out. again i don't sweat. broccoli gives me a migraine headache as well. mushrooms, bell peppers burn my stomach. fruits burn my stomach, fats (peanut butter, any oil or fat from meats make me sick to my stomach for a couple hours or longer. salt and pepper burns my stomach. all these issues cause pain at my belly button area and expand to the rest of my upper stomach and sides the more i ingest through out the day. I currently eat bland basmati rice, chicken, pork chops (fat trim), boiled russet potatoes no skin for three meals a day. my snacks are gluten free ground buckwheat flour pancakes. (just water, no oil , salt, dairy.) how am i to get vitamins in my system if i cannot tolerate them in my stomach? i mentioned epidermal vitamin patchs but dr said no. why cant i stand the heat from the sun ? why cant i sweat? thanks for any info.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By trents · Posted

      Because you have significantly reduced your gluten intake over a considerable amount of time, it is likely that you will test negative on the antibody tests. However, if the $112 for the Quest test is not a burden, it wouldn't hurt to try. It tests for total IGA (to ascertain if you are IGA deficient) and tTG-IGA. If total IGA is deficient, it can result in false negatives in other IGA tests. The tTG-IGA is the single most popular test ordered by physicians. The Quest test is not a complete celiac panel by any means (refer to the linked article above) but it might be a good place to start. Personally, I think you know enough to conclude that you need to get serious about avoiding gluten, whether you have celiac disease or NCGS. Human nature being what it is, however, many people seem to need an official diagnosis of celiac disease in order to stay on the bandwagon. Otherwise, they seem to rationalize cheating on the gluten-free diet. And there is this misconception out there that NCGS is inconvenient and uncomfortable but not harmful so it's okay to cheat. The more we learn about gluten-related disorders the more they seem to not fit into our neat little black and white categories. By the way, celiac disease is not a food allergy. It is classified as an autoimmune disorder.

      These responses are all extremely helpful, ty.  Really good reminder about omega 6.  I also know I'm low in zinc; I took the zinc test where I drank it on a spoon and couldn't taste it.  To that end, I try to eat a lot of oysters.  I do think it would be a good idea to get the blood test.  Two questions: 1-  Is there any reason you wouldn't recommend that I just buy and take a test like this as a first step? 2- I've been somewhat gluten free since ~Jan 2023 (technically organic, gluten free, soy free, light on dairy).  I eat a lot of meat, vegetables, rice -- a common breakfast for me is three eggs and a sausage link, and I can't remember the last time I had a sandwich or bread.  However, because in my mind I didn't think I had an allergy, and I more was doing gluten free to avoid artificially iron-enriched foods, I do make exceptions.  I'll eat breaded calamari.  When my Dad visits, I split mozzarella sticks with him because he loves them so much.  I'll eat the "gluten sensitive" items at a restaurant and if they asked, "is cross contamination ok?",  I always said yes.  Based on that, since I never probably fully eliminated gluten, but it was significantly reduced... is that good enough to take the blood test?  Because the pain in my side gets SO bad (really sometimes I can't function, and I absolutely thought I was dying), I am hesitant to do the gluten challenge.  Would it make sense to take the test, and if it's negative, then consider doing the challenge and seeing if I can deal with eating the bread every day? Thanks again!

      For me, with osteoporosis, Celiac and more than 1 heart condition, the slower, safer route is preferable.  I'm on 5 meds per day.  Too much of anything can disturb absorption of this or that. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.  I'm gone for a few days.
