Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 cup Milk (any kind, including dairy-free options)
- 1 cup Chicken or vegetable broth (gluten-free)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Once the butter has melted, whisk in the gluten-free all-purpose flour to make a smooth paste (a roux). Cook the roux for 1-2 minutes, whisking constantly, to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Once the mixture is smooth, add the gluten-free chicken or vegetable broth in a slow stream, continuing to whisk.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently, until it thickens to a consistency similar to condensed cream of soup (this will take about 5-7 minutes).
Stir in the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly. This substitute is now ready to use in recipes that call for a canned condensed cream of soup.
For customization, you can add finely chopped mushrooms for cream of mushroom, cooked chicken bits for cream of chicken, or diced celery for cream of celery.
