Gluten Free Green Bean Casserole

This is one for the record books and tried and true, it's delicious this way and can easily be morphed by changing the soup. I use home made cream of casserole soup.

Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

4 tablespoons butter dairy-free if wanted 1 teaspoon minced garlic In a large saucepan, heat butter (or dairy-free butter) over medium-high heat; saute minced garlic until tender

Step 2

12 tbls gluten free flour, 2 teaspoons onion powder 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tsp ground pepper, 2 teaspoons thyme Sprinkle gluten-free flour, onion powder, thyme over the sauteed garlic.

Step 3

pinch nutmeg optional

Step 4

4 cups gluten-free chicken broth or 1 box 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon 2 cups milk dairy-free use almond, cashew or coconut milk, or regular is fine if your not worried about dairy. stir in the gluten-free chicken broth, salt, pepper, and "nutmeg optional" stir the mixture until the flour dissolves. bring the soup to a boil and stir it until thickened (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 5

If you'd like to add real chicken-Add the chopped cooked chicken to the soup and stir to combine. I omit the chicken because I use this soup for casseroles Reduce the heat to low/simmer and stir in the milk (or dairy-free milk). Simmer, uncovered for about 10-15 minutes. Make sure you stir it occasionally and remove the soup from the heat as soon as it becomes as thick as you want it.

Step 6

Store in an air-tight container for later use or you can freeze it. Let the soup cool completely before freezing it. Leave about an inch of space between the soup and the container's lid when filling it. If you are planning on freezing the soup (not leftovers) don't add the dairy or non-dairy milk, simply add it in when you've reheated the soup.
