Progresso has Gluten Free soups! I didn't know that. The one I am most excited about is the Progresso Creamy Mushroom Soup. Not only is it gluten free but it is labeled as so!

Oh the possibilities! King Ranch Chicken, Shepard Pie, Chicken Spegetti (with GF noodles)... I haven't made those homey casseroles in a while because Gracie couldn't have them - honestly I don't even know that she would like them - but these are potluck staples and what a treat to serve these at a potluck and EVERYONE can eat it!

Tortilla Soup - Yummmmmm

I made Tortilla Soup tonight - it is one of my favorites. A spicy chicken soup made better with the addition of crushed up corn chips, cheese and/or avocados - perfect for a winter day.

I have made Tortilla Soup for years and it just dawned on me tonight that it is gluten free! Not that Gracie would touch it with a 10 foot pole - but it still is gluten free :)

I have made it so many times over the years that I no longer have a recipe - you can look up one online if you want more specifics or "wing it" with my recipe - it is really forgiving. It calls for chicken but I used left over turkey for mine tonight.

Tortilla Soup

6 cups of chicken stock (I had homemade turkey stock on hand that I used.)

2-3 cups of cubed or shredded cooked chicken.

One can of Rotel Tomatoes and green chilies

one can of diced tomatoes

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp garlic powder (or fresh -to taste)

1 tsp onion powder (or fresh -to taste)

1 can sliced carrots (or fresh sliced)

Throw it all in a pot and simmer. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and/or crushed tortilla chips and/or sliced avocado.

Add more or less stock, more or less chicken, corn or other veggies (left over roasted veggies work really well.)

I have made this for family and company - it freezes REALLY well and can be easily doubled or tripled.

Enjoy.
