GLUTEN FREE CREAM SOUP BASE (POWDERED)



Gluten Free Cream Soup Base (Powdered) image

This is from Bette Hagman and is used in some of her recipes that I will post. You can make it dairy free also. I use rice milk powder in recipe #189271. You could use either recipe interchangeably. There are variations after the recipe instructions. It makes enough for 8-9 cans of soup. For dairy free, according to Bette, you could use the powdered baby formula Isomil or Pregestimil also.
