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.

I went to make Tater Tot Casserole tonight and realized I had no Lipton Onion Soup Mix. What does one do during quarantine? I concocted a Copycat Lipton Onion Soup Mix Recipe. The recipe is enough for 2 packets, so if you are using this, 1/2 of it if you need the equivalent to one packet.

Ingredients

1/2 c. minced onions

4 T. beef bouillon granules

1/2 tsp. onion powder

1 T. parsley

1/4 tsp. paprika

Directions

Put it in an airtight container or a Ziploc baggie. Use immediately or store for up to a month. You can also double or triple this recipe and keep it in a mason jar. I don’t use this often. Always, though, I put it on a roast. Also, I put it in my Tater Tot Casserole, which I will post the recipe for tomorrow.

Anyway

I’ve been cooking up a storm during the quarantine. Well, who am I kidding? I cook all the time. Honestly, I feel like that is all I do: cook, clean, or educate. The highlight of my day is driving down the road to see Kevin, the pig. He is my neighbor’s pet pig that lives in the front yard. If you want to join in on the fun, I post daily on my quarantine log with my crew on my Facebook page. Come on over and “like” my page and join in. Let us all know what you are doing during this bizarre time in history.
