You can find tomato paste almost anywhere, and it will probably have low sugar content. These are then strained until they form a thick, gooey consistency. What Is Tomato Paste?Īs the name suggests, this paste is made of concentrated tomatoes, which are seeded, peeled, and cooked down.
It is all about finding a balance between flavors and texture, but we’ll help you figure it out. With a cost of under $5 per bag, each serving costs around $.60 or $1.20 if you consider serving two cups instead of one.Instead of panicking or rushing out to a store, you can choose other ingredients that can work equally well. In the Atlanta area, I’ve found the Bear Creek soup mixes at Fresh Market and Publix stores. While almost every soup mix from Bear Creek contained gluten in the past, 9 out of the 14 flavors are now made with corn starch or other non-gluten thickeners. It’s absolutely fabulous that there are so many non-specialty foods that we can enjoy these days. In addition to the Bear Creek Darn Good Chili and Cheddar Potato mixes, these soups from the line are also made without gluten ingredients: The soup mix contains milk and soy and makes approximately eight servings. We added crispy bacon and scallions for extra flavor but the soup is wonderful without any additional ingredients. The soup package offers add-in suggestions of chicken, asparagus, broccoli, ham, peas, corn, sausage, bacon, and jalapenos. The flavor was of mild cheddar cheese and potato, of course. The Cheddar Potato soup was thick and creamy – almost surprisingly so. After bringing the water to a boil, just whisk in the soup mix and let it simmer for 15 minutes. The Cheddar Potato soup mix requires eight cups of water, salt, and pepper (to taste) and takes approximately 20 minutes to make. Not being someone who really loves cooking from scratch when it can be avoided, having safe soup mixes to whip up is a really big treat at our house. There are very few options for safe soup at restaurants in our area so we make a lot of soup during the cooler months. Soup is something that is very hard to find when dining out gluten-free. Once I understood that important fact, my gluten-free life got so much easier. While some people want to see those reassuring words – gluten-free – on every single product they buy, the absence of the term on a product in no way indicates that there is gluten in it. Due to the fact that there is still no ruling from the FDA about exactly what a gluten-free label means, the company does not label their “no gluten ingredient” soups gluten-free. Now that the wheat (the only form of gluten in the item previously) flour is missing, we can enjoy our wintertime favorite again – creamy Cheddar Potato soup.īear Creek has investigated the ingredients in all their products to determine which ones are made without any gluten ingredients. Another one of the mixes from the line we’d enjoyed in the past was the Cheddar Potato soup. What a nice surprise it was to find out that the company removed wheat from quite a few of their soup mixes. Since the soup mix contained wheat flour when I started following the gluten-free diet, we had not purchased any of the Bear Creek soup mixes for several years. The Darn Good Chili mix from Bear Creek was reformulated to be gluten-free quite a while back.
