I'm constantly looking for new recipes on the internet to heal your (and my) gut. Recipes that are gluten- and dairy-free as well as leaning toward Paleo.
So when I found this at nowheymama.com, I was overjoyed! Because I LOVE cream soups and haven't had any since I went dairy free. Not only that, I love the idea of having something super-quick (don't you love that too?) to make after a long day's work.
I replaced the soy milk powder (soy is controversial as it's been rumored to cause breast cancer, thyroid problems, and dementia [although fermented soy like miso or tempeh is lauded as health-beneficial]) with coconut milk powder as it's high in fat and makes a thicker soup ... but almond milk powder would be a good alternative.
The resulting mixture has a distinct coconut taste and might be better for Oriental soups but I love the taste. And you can't get more Paleo than that!
And substituted the chicken bouillon powder with chicken-flavored vegetarian bouillon as I use its liquid version all the time in recipes. It's Harvest brand and has Chinese writing on it (available on Amazon) but is gluten free and no MSG ... which is what I was looking for.
Anyway ... this worked out GREAT with shiitake mushrooms I bought at the local Farmer's Market, celery, already-cooked shredded chicken, and some carrots. Be creative and make it any way you'd like.
Oh ... and I'm using it in place of broth in a Paleo chicken pot pie (miss those too) recipe I'm making this week. I think it'll be PERFECT for the gravy. Will keep you posted.
AuthorJill PlaceMissing cream soup? This gut-healing soup mix is gluten- and dairy-free and leaning on Paleo. Just add water and your own ingredients and eat it up FOR REAL! Makes great gravy too!
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.
Store in a tightly-covered airtight container (I used two of my Mason jars) for up to one year.
Combine 1 1/4 cups water with 1/2 cup soup in a medium saucepan.
Mix well.
Bring to a boil and cook until thickened, about 2 to 3 minutes, whisking constantly.
You can add minced celery, mushrooms, or cooked shrimp or chicken (or a combination) to make other cream-of flavors.
Orrington Farms make a good chicken bouillon (although I couldn't find the vegetarian one).
This soup doubles as a quick, creamy gravy.
