Imagine Creamy Portabello Mushroom Soup – gluten free

I purchased this 16 ounce box of soup for $3.29 at my local grocery store. I was excited to find a musroom soup that was labeled gluten-free to use in recipes. I was craving some real beef stroganoff and my favorite, and simple recipe needs this soup.

This is a ready to eat soup that does NOT require you to add water. I found this soup to be moderately thin with a light mushroom flavor. It was not heavy or salty and seemed balanced in every way. It truly is creamy with no bits or chuncks of mushroom to be seen. I did not eat this soup alone  ( only tasted  a spoonful) but found that it worked well in my dinner recipes when I thickened it with some potato or tapioca flour.

 I found it a bit cumbersome to store unused portions of the soup. I sticky tab to cover the opening in the box was insufficiant to keep it sealed, so I had to store the remaining soup in a plastic storage container. However, once I got my mushroom and beef fix, I really had no use for the remaining 8 ounces of soup and it was eventually discarded.

Pros: nice mushroom flavor, may be adapted to recipes calling for condensed soup

Cons: quite thin, a slightly smaller sized box would be preferable for cooking

Rating: 4 stars

Ingredients: coming soon!

    We like the creamy tomato soup variety of the Imagine soups but have not tried the mushroom.

    I’ll have to find the tomato version next time I am at the store. Thanks for the suggestion Neena!

    I believe that Progresso’s Cream of Mushroom soup is also GF. If I figure out how to make fried, pseudo-breaded onion rings, I can once again make the traditional green bean/onion casserole.

    Ooo, that would be just yummy! Unfortunately for me, I can’t find the progresso mushroom soup anymore in my area. :( if you figure out how to recreate the fried onions, I hope you will share your secret with us.
