Labels

A few years ago
Like 5
My friend introduced me to "clean" eating.
Not a new concept
More of a throw away processed foods and get back to "the good ol' days"
You know like horse and buggy cooking.
Since then I read a lot of labels at the grocery store
(yes I am one of those people who spend an agonizing amount of time reading labels, blocking amd contesting the isles at the store)
I am always amazed at the crap that is in food.

Now more than ever I am scouring labels again
With greater purpose I suppose.
It has really brought me back to cooking.

I found a recipe for condensed cream of chicken soup.
I have been missing creamy sauces on rice
So when I saw this I knew I had to try to make is gluten, dairy, and egg free.

RECIPE
3 cups of chicken broth 
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp parsley
1/4 tsp pepper
Sprinkle of paprika
1/2 cup of tapioca starch (or corn starch)
3 cups of coconut milk or almond.

Boil the stock and 2 cups of milk with the seasonings. Add the starch to the remaining milk. Whisk into boiling stock (medium heat) and cook 2 minutes. Keep stirring. Turn off heat and carefully ladle into jars. It will make about 3 500ml jars. Store in fridge.


I found the original recipe on pinterest. There was a ton of them all the same if you want to make it with dairy
