Some of you might be cringing with today's recipe. How dare I cut corners with a can?
Yeah well, I am. This can of soup has long been a staple in many, many recipes and with the holiday season right around the corner I'm seeing recipes popping up all over that want you to use cream of chicken soup.
But YOU have allergies. And that can isn't going to fit your dietary restrictions.
This recipe is for homemade dairy free cream of chicken soup and a gluten free cream of chicken soup version that will taste better than the can. Mix and match your favorite ingredients to fit your allergy needs. The recipe makes the equivalent of two cans.
