Keep in mind that this particular mix (and most other cream soup mixes) does contain soy. I have a soy-free recommendation below.

HOW TO MAKE GLUTEN FREE GRAVY

  1. Pour chicken broth or stock into a small saucepan.
  2. Whisk in Vivian’s Live Again soup mix.
  3. Heat over medium heat, whisking frequently for a few minutes until it reaches a gravy-like consistency.
  4. Reduce heat to low and add the butter or dairy-free butter, stirring until you reach the right consistency.
  5. Remove from heat and serve immediately. Refrigerate any leftovers.

This homemade gluten-free gravy is so good, I promise you won’t miss traditional gravy at all. The whole family (and any guests) will love it even if they eat gluten regularly.

HOW TO STORE GLUTEN FREE GRAVY

Store leftover gravy in an airtight container or jar in the fridge for up to 5 days.

HOW TO MAKE GLUTEN-FREE GRAVY THICKER

If you prefer a thicker gravy, make a slurry by whisking together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch or arrowroot starch with 1 tablespoon of water.

Gradually whisk it into the finished gravy and heat over medium until it reaches your desired thickness.

HOW TO USE LEFTOVER GRAVY

There are lots of ways to use leftover homemade gravy! One of my favorite ways is to add it to chicken noodle soup.

You can also add it to casseroles or warm it up to serve over leftover mashed potatoes.

Sometimes the gravy will get a gel-like consistency in the fridge and will retain that as you warm it up. To bring it back to a great texture, whisk in a little extra broth, water, or milk, and warm over medium-low heat while whisking.

CAN I MAKE THIS RECIPE SOY FREE?

This is the question I get asked the most, because Vivian’s and most other gluten-free soup mixes contain soy.

The only gluten free cream soup mix I’ve found is from Full Flavor Foods and I haven’t tested it with this recipe, but it might work!

Please let me know if you try it so I can pass along the info to my other soy-free readers.

PRO TIPS FOR HOMEMADE GLUTEN-FREE GRAVY

Sprinkle finished gravy with a little fresh thyme or parsley for a beautiful presentation.

If your gravy gets lumpy, try using an immersion blender to smooth it out.

For extra flavor, add a few tablespoons of pan juices from your meat.

FAQs

What can I use to thicken gravy that is gluten-free? ›

Cornstarch-thickened gravy will have an uneven consistency when reheated. That said, cornstarch is gluten-free, making it the ideal choice for a gluten-free Thanksgiving meal. It doesn't need to be cooked in advance, so cornstarch is a good option if you're running short on time.

What can I substitute for flour in gravy? ›

Cornstarch and potato starch are the best options for gravy. Avoid arrowroot and tapioca starches because they can get "stringy" and look artificial in gravy. Cornstarch gravy is more translucent than flour based sauces. Potato starch gravy is more opaque than cornstarch, but less opaque than flour.

What can I substitute for milk in white gravy? ›

Unsweetened almond milk (especially barista styled almond milk and almond cooking milk), natural flavored full fat oat milk, and soy milk all make great substitutes for milk. Water is also a good substitute for milk in sausage gravy, though the color won't be as opaque as it would with a dairy free milk.

Is gluten-free flour good for making gravy? ›

Yes. While I don't usually create recipes that need xanthan gum I've used Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1 gluten-free flour in this recipe and it has xanthan gum. The trick with it having the xanthan gum is that you have to add it to cold ingredients, or it will clump up in the gravy - the same with starches.

What is better to thicken gravy, cornstarch or flour? ›

What's the difference between using cornstarch or flour to make your gravy? Cornstarch does have more thickening power than wheat flour (because it's pure starch, while flour has some protein in it). So usually you need a little less cornstarch than flour for the equivalent thickening power.

Arrowroot. This powder comes from rhizomes of the Marantaceae family of tubers. It's a great natural substitute for those needing a gluten-free gravy thickener.

What is the secret to using gluten-free flour? ›

Add extra liquid: Gluten-free flours tend to absorb more liquid than regular flour, so you may need to add more liquid to your recipes to compensate. This can help to keep your baked goods moist and prevent them from becoming dry and crumbly.

Some gluten-free flours gum up when they're used in a roux—not so with King Arthur Gluten-Free Multi-Purpose Flour. This blend works just like regular flour in a roux—a 1:1 ratio of flour to butter. Cook it until it's slightly browned, then add to your stock and pan drippings and whisk away.

How can I make my gravy thick without flour? ›

Similar to flour, cornstarch is another ingredient that can be used to make gravy thicker. With cornstarch, making a slurry is also an option, but with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch whisked into cold water. Again, you'll want to add the slurry in increments so you don't over-thicken the gravy.
