Homemade Condensed Cream of Chicken soup. Ditch the canned garbage and make it at home with basic ingredients in under 15 minutes flat! You’ll never buy the expensive cream of anything ever again.
(Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free friendly)
Ready for a more cost-effective way to get condensed cream of chicken soup? There are gluten-free options out there, but what isn’t out there is cheap and gluten-free condensed cream of chicken soup.
I’ve purchased the store-bought in the past and was always taken back at the cost of these little containers of questionable (yet delicious) cream of chicken or cream of mushroom.
That’s why I began making it myself and I’m going to show you how to make it. After you see just how easy this is, you’ll be doing the same.
All you need for Homemade Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup
- Chicken Broth (easily adapt to Vegetable Broth for a Vegetarian version)
- Milk or dairy-free alternative
- Gluten-Free 1-1 Flour
- Seasoning like parsley, garlic and onion.
Yup, that’s all it takes!
You can make a whole ca of cream of chicken soup for the cost of one tiny canned package. Ditch the cans and make your own.
The reason that inspired this discovery? I didn’t have the ingredients on hand for our Gluten-Free Green Bean Casserole. I make this vegetarian by using Vegetable Broth.
Simple ways to elevate the condensed cream of chicken:
- Add some finely chopped chicken if you’d like.
- Use gluten-free chicken stock versus chicken broth. Chicken stock has a stronger flavor and is divine. However, it is sometimes difficult for us to find a chicken stock that is gluten-free where we live so always be mindful and check out the ingredients before purchasing.
Now this homemade condensed cream of chicken soup is NOT suppose to be eaten alone. This is meant to go into dishes that call for condensed cream of chicken.

Is there a way to.i adapt this to cream of mushroom soup? Also, can I can or freeze these little wonders?
Lindsay says
Yesssss, we’ve done it. I believe we go into a little detail on this post about it. Just use vegetable broth and add about 1/4-1/2 cup chopped mushrooms, Haven’t attempted at freezing this though so not sure about that. My gut thinks no.

What gluten free flour can I use as I have all separate flours to make my own blends as needed for different types of baking and cooking. Thanks
