While Progresso makes a creamy gluten free mushroom soup, they do not make a gluten free cream of chicken soup. With that said and a recent request from a Facebook follower, I thought you would appreciate this recipe. Make it super rich using cream, dairy-free with your choice of milk, or with any fat content of cow’s milk. Enjoy!
A tasty gluten free cream of chicken soup recipe you can make super rich or dairy-free. Serve it as a soup or in your favorite casseroles and recipes.

- 1/16 teaspoon paprika
- 3/4 cup white or brown rice flour
Instructions:
- In large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.

- Add garlic, parsley, thyme, bay leaf, salt, pepper and paprika and saute until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Add flour and stir until combined.
- Increase heat to medium-high, slowly pour in the milk and broth mixture, whisk constantly, and cook until thick, about 5 minutes.
- Using an immersion/handheld blender, puree until creamy or allow to cool slightly and puree in a stand blender in batches.
- Serve warm or use in your favorite recipes.
Tips
Dairy-free milk may need additional flour, depending upon your thickness preference.
For recipes calling for condensed gluten free cream of chicken soup, use less milk or cream.
