Make It Low-Carb Monday: Dairy-Free, Grain-Free Cream of Mushroom Soup
Campbells Cream of Mushroom Soup has long been a staple in many of my recipes. When I started a low-carb lifestyle I turned to a low-carb cream of mushroom bacon soup from my pal Jaimie over at The Lighter Side of Low-Carb. Now that I’ve discovered I’m allergic to dairy I’ve set out on a mission for a new recipe that complies with my food allergies and just in time for Thanksgiving. I don’t think the man-friend could live through Turkey Day without his beloved green bean casserole!
I’ve chosen to sub the cream and half and half that most cream of mushroom soup recipes call for with unsweetened almond milk. This came out pretty great, so I think any milk substitute would work in this recipe. I also chose to use the crock-pot here since this is an ingredient that I use in other recipes. I need to be able to scale it easily to make large batches for canning and it’s just plain easier to throw it all in the pot and let it cook so I can make this any time.
Here’s what I came up with…
Low-Carb Black Bean Chili
The best fall meal ever has got to be chili!
We make chili in the crock pot year round, but it always tastes better when it’s cold outside. Who am I kidding? Here in Arizona it’s definitely not cold yet, but you can just tell that it’s October. The fall feeling is here and that means, it’s time for some chili.
This chili is a little different, as my regular readers know, I’ve recently been diagnosed with food allergies. So I’ve had to use black beans instead of kidney beans since I’m allergic. If you’re looking to lower the carb count even further, you can easily omit the beans and the chili will be just as scrumptious.
This recipe makes for fabulous left overs, I use it for chili dogs and chili burgers!
Paleo Stuffed Peppers
Thank goodness for Paleo recipes!
I’ve been reading a ton of Paleo eating blogs and I’ve come across some great inspiration for recipes. Here are the stuffed peppers we enjoyed for dinner tonight. Free of all the foods I’m allergic to, low-carb, and yummy!
