Campbell’s Cream of Chicken and Cream of Mushroom Soups

Campbell’s now sells a gluten free version of their condensed cream of chicken and cream of mushroom soups.

Please note Campbell’s is still selling the original gluten containing versions. Read the labels carefully as the cans are located next to each other, and look very similar, making it easy to confuse the two.

I found the soups at Meijer and the gluten free and the gluten-containing versions were the same price.
