Gluten-Free Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup

By rsink

This recipe will replace 1 (10 3/4 oz.) can of cream of mushroom soup in any casserole recipe. If you need the recipe to be dairy free as well, replace the butter with olive oil.

Ingredients

• 4 oz. fresh mushrooms, chopped finely (you can also use canned mushrooms)
• 3 T. butter
• 1 c. water
• 2 T. plus 1 tsp. cornstarch or potato starch
• 1/4 tsp. salt

Preparation

Step 1

Wash and finely chop the mushrooms (or if using canned, drain and finely chop). Place in a small saucepan with the butter. Cook over medium heat until the mushrooms are very fragrant and tender, approximately 5 min. A little browning of the mushrooms will add to the flavor.

Combine the remaining ingredients in a cup and stir to dissolve the starch. Add to the pot. Stirring, bring to a boil to allow the mixture to thicken.

Use as called for in any recipe.
