INGREDIENTS IN GLUTEN FREE GRAVY
Ingredient amounts and the full method are in the recipe card below.
You only need a few simple ingredients to make a delicious gluten-free gravy in minutes.
- Gluten-free creamy chicken soup mix — I recommend Vivian’s Live Again Creamy Chicken flavor.
- Gluten-free chicken broth or stock — use low-sodium if you prefer.
- Unsalted butter — or a dairy-free butter substitute (Melt is a favorite) to keep the gravy dairy-free.
- Freshly ground pepper to taste.
For deeper flavor, stir in a few tablespoons of pan drippings from roasted meat.
Vivian’s products are made in a dedicated gluten-free facility and are free from eggs, nuts, milk, and peanuts. Note: many powdered cream soup mixes do contain soy; a soy-free option is mentioned below.
HOW TO MAKE GLUTEN FREE GRAVY
- Pour the gluten-free chicken broth into a small saucepan.
- Whisk in the powdered soup mix until fully combined.
- Heat over medium, whisking frequently for a few minutes until it thickens to a gravy-like consistency.
- Reduce heat to low and whisk in butter (or dairy-free substitute) until smooth.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately. Refrigerate leftovers.
This gravy is so flavorful and smooth you won’t miss traditional gravy. It pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes, roasted turkey, or any holiday main.
HOW TO STORE GLUTEN FREE GRAVY
Keep leftover gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.
HOW TO MAKE GLUTEN-FREE GRAVY THICKER
If you prefer a thicker gravy, whisk together a slurry of 1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot starch with 1 tablespoon water. Gradually whisk the slurry into the warm gravy and cook over medium until it reaches your desired thickness.
HOW TO USE LEFTOVER GRAVY
Leftover gravy is versatile: stir it into chicken noodle soup, ladle it over leftover mashed potatoes, or fold it into casseroles for extra richness.
If refrigerated gravy gels, loosen it while reheating by whisking in a little extra broth, water, or milk over medium-low heat until smooth.
CAN I MAKE THIS RECIPE SOY FREE?
Many gluten-free cream soup mixes contain soy, so this is a common concern. One soy-free cream soup base option is available from specialty brands (Full Flavor Foods offers a gluten-free cream soup base). I haven’t tested that brand with this exact method, so results may vary — please share if you try it.
PRO TIPS FOR HOMEMADE GLUTEN-FREE GRAVY
Garnish the finished gravy with fresh thyme or parsley for a pretty touch.
If lumps form, use an immersion blender to smooth the gravy quickly.
A few tablespoons of pan juices from roasted meat added to the gravy will boost flavor and give it a more homemade depth.
