Yummy soups again!
One of the foods I missed the most being dairy free was cream of chicken. It was my base soup in so many of our favorite recipies, I got depressed thinking about it. However, I happen to be blessed with an amazing husband who researched until he found a replacement for everything!
One thing he found was Better Than bouillon Organic Chicken Base.
It is gluten free and dairy free and also comes in a Vegan chicken base that is pretty darn good.
I have also found that Campbell's makes a gluten free/dairy free Chicken Stock (honestly, you would be surprised at the amount of stock/broth/bouillon that have wheat and dairy products in them!)
EASY CREAM OF CHICKEN SOUP
2 cups chicken stock
2 cups Almond Milk (unsweetened, original)
1 can diced chicken (or your favorite type)
1 cup of either Bisquick for our dairy free or
1 cup of your favorite baking mix for gluten free
You may need to add a pinch or so of Xanthan Gum to
make it thicken if you use plain rice flour
add to taste
onion powder
garlic powder
celery salt
pepper
Mix your dry with the milk to a smooth texture
bring your stock to a low boil and slowly pour in
the milk mix, wisk to keep it smooth (too slow and you will
end up with dumplings instead)
add in your chicken and let simmer until the broth thickens to
the texture you prefer
serve and enjoy!
you can do this with broccoli, mushrooms (use veggie bouillon) ham (trust me, not as crazy as it sounds! makes a great gravy over your favorite biscuits for breakfast.) We've used this for sausage gravy and cream gravy when you start missing something to have with your baked potatoes or over turkey dinner.
A quick word on the sausage I mentioned above.
There are a couple of good brands that make a gluten/dairy free breakfast sausage that you can find in your regular grocery store.
Just read the label to make sure.

Pizza and you
No, no no and no.
Well....I take that back. There are some amazingly delicious gluten free pizza crusts and mixes out on the market today. You'll have to check each brand, but most seem to be both gluten and dairy free. For those of us who are dairy free, use your favorite non dairy cheese (one word of caution: I am allergic to Casein also and quite a few companies use it in their cheeses, so read, read, read)
