I don't think most cream soups are gluten free? So this shouldn't be labeled as a gluten free recipe.

What could be substituted for the cream of mushroom? We do not like mushrooms or cream of mushroom soup. I generally just sub with cream of chicken so I would think that would be okay. Thoughts?

You could use any "cream of" style soup and it would be fine I think!!
