I just tried this great soup recipe from Sharon Larson (recipe below) and
adapted it to my old Tuna Casserole recipe...it was great! Tasted just like
the Campbells soup kind! My casserole recipe follows soup recipe. Enjoy!

Homemade recipe for Cream of Mushroom Sauce or Soup/Celery/Chicken*
(from Sharon Larson)
This is good and simple:
In heavy saucepan, heat on medium:
1 Tbsp. margarine
Add, and sauté for 1 minute:
1 cup diced fresh mushrooms (approx. 1/4 lb.)
Remove from pan and reserve (mushrooms will now measure approx. 1/2 cup.
Also, 1/2 cup of canned, drained mushroom bits can be substituted for
mushrooms and margarine, if desired. If so, skip sauté step.)
Heat, in same saucepan:
4 Tbsp. margarine
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup milk (I used 2 percent to cut down on fat)
Stir in these spices:
1/2 tsp. dried onion flakes
1 pinch celery seed
1 pinch garlic powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
Make a smooth paste of:
2 1/2 Tbsp. SWEET RICE FLOUR
1/4 cup milk
Add paste slowly to heating mixture. Stir constantly until thickened.
Stir in reserved mushrooms and heat through. Use in casserole recipes
or add 1 CUP MILK FOR SOUP. Equivalent to one can condensed cream of
mushroom soup.
*VARIATIONS: CREAM OF CELERY SAUCE OR SOUP: Substitute 1 cup diced
celery for fresh mushrooms.
CREAM OF CHICKEN SAUCE OR SOUP: Substitute 1 cup diced raw chicken for
fresh mushrooms and sauté for 3 min. OR substitute 1/2 cup diced COOKED
chicken for canned mushrooms.
Jane's Tuna/Noodle Casserole
2-10oz. pkg GF elbows
1-10oz. pkg frozen, chopped spinach, cooked
Double the GF cream of mushroom soup (above). Use canned mushrooms.
Add milk to fill evaporated milk can to top. (Is this confusing? You don't
need the whole can of evap. milk, just 1/2 C. So add 2% milk to remaining
evaporated milk in can to re-fill can)
1-12oz. can solid white tune (GF)
Salt & pepper to taste
Cook noodles and drain. Mix all together. Fill 2 regular casserole dishes.
Crumble Barbara's Crisp Rice Cereal over top. Bake at 350 deg. for 1hr.
