Campbell's - Eat Your Heart Out

Here is a recipe I stumbled upon on Recipe Zaar. It can be substituted for any Campbell's Cream soup. I made the tomato soup today and let me tell you, it smells so much better than the canned crap that costs $1 or more.

Gluten Free Note (added 4-14-2010): This is very easy to make GF. Just use an all-purpose GF flour mix. Also be sure your chicken bouillon is gluten free our Wyler's brand is made in a factory that also processes wheat!! I made dinner a few nights ago with this instead of the typical Campbell's and nobody could even tell.
