Condensed soups, certain potato chips (Sorry, Dad, no more Funyons) and other foods like that. Even if it's considered safe in clinical testing, it still has the potential to be an allergen.<br /><br />Besides, even if it's totally awesomely cool and safe and never hurt nobody ever, it's still Chris' right to not feed it to her family just because she chose not to. It gave us an awesome recipe for soup, right?Mother Otterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13423363645227563714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4007490949582525706.post-41706289678072395492011-08-06T12:45:08.726-04:002011-08-06T12:45:08.726-04:00Yup, you could :-) I tried it on a smaller scale ...Yup, you could :-) I tried it on a smaller scale (just a couple frozen "recipe sized" portions), but it worked great!Chris K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12054057713267875769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4007490949582525706.post-13996550669772321902011-08-06T09:06:54.333-04:002011-08-06T09:06:54.333-04:00I am excited about this recipe because I love some...I am excited about this recipe because I love some of the comfort foods (like the chicken and rice you posted too) that use cream of mushroom soup, but dont like to use the canned stuff either.

Same with soy, it's not bad, only when it's been extracted and injected in large amounts into every single food item you buy.Sunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15335058863323657036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4007490949582525706.post-32411752225654044962011-04-22T11:51:18.863-04:002011-04-22T11:51:18.863-04:00Micah, yes.

I'm not with mine. There are too many instances in my family when someone's felt very ill or off (and not food poisoning type symptoms) after eating out and we find out later that we accidentally had MSG.Chris K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12054057713267875769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4007490949582525706.post-57650013224988474512011-04-22T08:19:43.401-04:002011-04-22T08:19:43.401-04:00http://junkfoodscience.blogspot.com/2007/03/scienc...http://junkfoodscience.blogspot.com/2007/03/science-is-so-inconvenient-to-food.html<br /><br />But mushrooms have glutamates.

Will this substitute work for that or will the consistency not work? Thanks for all the info you post, I always look forward to reading your blog. :)Micah Maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12754649989819227445noreply@blogger.com
