  1. This looks wonderful! Do you have a recipe for a GF mushroom soup substitute? I suppose cream sauce with sauteed mushrooms?

    1. Yes, cream sauce made with mushrooms bouillon and cornstarch is a good option. I think you could also try just adding sliced or button mushrooms with a cup of broth to the roast and thicken it with cream nearer to the end.

  2. Pacific makes an organic gluten free cream of mushroom that I use for my Celiac daughter-in-law with great results!
