Q: Is your Cream of Celery Soup Mix gluten free?
A: Yes! Our Cream of Celery Soup Mix is completely gluten free and was created specifically to give families a delicious alternative to traditional cream soups that often contain wheat.
Q: Is it dairy free?
A: Yes. We use organic coconut cream powder to create that rich, creamy texture without traditional dairy cream.
Q: What allergens is it free from?
A: Our Cream of Celery Soup Mix is made without gluten, dairy, soy, nuts, corn, sesame or seed oils. It’s also vegan and made with simple, thoughtfully selected ingredients.
Q: Can I use this in place of a can of cream of celery soup?
A: Absolutely. That’s exactly what we made it for! Mix ½ cup of powder with 1 cup of liquid to make the equivalent of one traditional 10.5 oz can of cream of celery soup.
Q: Do I have to use water to prepare it?
A: Nope! Water works perfectly, but you can substitute your favorite milk or dairy-free milk for an even richer, creamier result.
Q: Can I use the powder without reconstituting it?
A: Yes—and this is one of our favorite things about it. Sprinkle the dry mix directly into chicken, potatoes, soups, sauces, gravies, vegetables and casseroles whenever you want an extra layer of creamy, savory celery flavor.
Q: What does it taste like?
A: It’s rich, creamy and savory with the familiar flavor of celery, onion and garlic. The organic coconut cream adds smoothness and richness without making the finished product taste overwhelmingly like coconut.
Q: Does it taste strongly like coconut?
A: No. The coconut cream powder is there primarily for creaminess and body. The savory celery, onion, garlic and seasonings are what come through in the finished soup.
Q: Can I eat it as an actual soup?
A: Absolutely. It works beautifully as a creamy celery soup on its own, but it was also designed to be an incredibly versatile recipe base for casseroles, sauces, soups, gravies and more.
Q: What recipes can I use it in?
A: Use it anywhere you would normally use canned cream of celery—casseroles, scalloped potatoes, creamy chicken dishes, pot pies, soups, gravies and slow-cooker meals. You can also use the powder as a seasoning.
Q: Why did you make it as a powder instead of a canned soup?
A: Because powder gives you so much more flexibility. You can make exactly the amount you need, customize the thickness and creaminess, use it dry as a seasoning, and keep it in your pantry much longer than an opened can.
Q: How long does it last?
A: The dry mix has a two-year shelf life, making it an easy pantry staple to keep on hand whenever a recipe calls for cream of celery.
Q: Is it vegan?
A: Yes. Our Cream of Celery Soup Mix contains no animal-derived dairy ingredients and is completely vegan.
Q: Does it contain MSG?
A: We do not add MSG to our Cream of Celery Soup Mix. Its savory flavor comes from ingredients like celery, onion, garlic, nutritional yeast and seasonings.
Q: Why is there organic cane sugar in the ingredients?
A: A small amount of organic cane sugar helps balance the savory flavors and round out the overall taste. It isn’t intended to make the soup sweet.
Q: What makes this different from traditional canned cream of celery?
A: Most traditional cream soups rely on ingredients like wheat flour, dairy cream and vegetable oils. Ours was created to deliver the same creamy, comforting experience with a much more allergy-friendly ingredient list—and because it’s powdered, it’s more versatile too. Pacific Foods’ current condensed cream of celery, for example, is gluten free but contains milk, while Mom’s Place offers a dry gluten- and dairy-free option with a somewhat different ingredient formulation.
Q: Does it contain xanthan gum or natural flavors?
A: No. Our formula gets its texture and flavor from ingredients like white rice flour, potato starch, real dried celery and onion, organic coconut cream, nutritional yeast, garlic and spices.
