Easy Base Gluten Free Recipes and Seasoning Mix

These Easy Base Gluten Free Recipes and Seasoning Mix are staples I use at my house. The seasoning mix, I have used for at least nine hundred years. The base recipes are new-ish to me but I have been using them for several months now. You can buy cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soup that is in a can and gluten free. However, they are expensive. You can probably buy the taco mix in a jar and that may be gluten free, but I’m not 100% sure, so I just made my own. It is just easier that way.
Seasoning Mix
1 c. kosher salt
1/2 c. garlic powder
1/2 c. onion powder
1/8 c. pepper
Glass mason jar and the top of a parmesan cheese can.
I place each of the items above in layers in the glass mason jar. From there, I usually have enough room to at least double it. I use this mixture for absolutely everything, so I just layer away. Once the jar is full, screw on the lid and shake to incorporate.
Cream of …. (mushroom, chicken, or celery) Soup
1 c. powdered milk
1 c. rice powder (I tried to make this and it didn’t turn out very well, so I will buy it from now on)
2 Tbsp minced onion
Dash pepper
Dash salt
3 Tbsp chicken bouillon powder
Mix well and place in airtight container. This is the base for the mushroom, chicken, and celery soups.
Cream of Chicken: In pan, combine 4 Tbsp of the base and 1/4 c. water. Add in 1 c. chicken stock and cook stirring constantly.
Cream of Mushroom: In pan, combine 4 Tbsp of the base, 1/4 c. water. Add in 1 c. chicken stock and stir until thick. From there, either add 1 small can of mushrooms or fresh mushrooms.
Cream of Celery: In pan, combine 4 Tbsp of the base, 1/4 c. water. Add in 1 c. chicken stock and stir until thick. From there, add in chopped celery.
Gluten Free Taco Seasoning
2 Tbsp cumin
1 Tbsp onion powder
Garlic powder, 1 Tbsp
1 Tbsp paprika
1/2 Tbsp chili powder
1 Tbsp oregano
Dash of salt
Depending on what I’m going to store this in, I will double or triple this recipe. Place in an airtight container and season to taste. I rarely measure anything. Remember, start small, taste, and add. You can always add seasoning in but you can’t take it out!
Gluten Free Ranch Mix
Parsley, 1 Tbsp
1 garlic powder
1 Tbsp onion powder
Dash of salt
Dash of pepper
Mix all together (again doubling or tripling depending on what you put it in). 2 Tbsp of this mixture equals one packet.
