2012 Update:
Unfortunately, the Progresso Onion Soup is no longer gluten free. Fortunately, they do have some gluten free options available, like the Manhatten Clam Chowder, Chicken and Cheese Enchilada, and Split Pea soup flavors.
I have to say that the Split Pea is my favorite of the gluten free Progresso soups, but after six years on this diet I’m really starting to lose my taste for any kind of processed foods. Fresh just tastes better, but if you’re looking for some help in that transition there are definitely some canned soups available these days!

Original Post:
Here’s a gluten-free variation of an old favorite of mine that I just enjoyed for dinner:
1 Can Progresso French Onion Soup ($1.50)
2 1/4 lb Great Value Hamburgers ($1.00)
3 Slices Provolone Cheese ($.75)
Simmer soup and fry burgers, allowing fat and grease to drain. Pat down burgers with paper towel and then cut into small pieces. Add burger to soup, and lay the cheese on top of the soup. A few moments in the microwave and the cheese will melt across the top, or you can just dunk the cheese to the bottom of the bowl and spoon out small pieces with each bite.
Thanks, and for anyone that is having difficulty chopping onions without the crying, here’s an incredibly easy tip – put them in the fridge for a few hours, then chop them straight away after taking them out! No more tears! I found some more onion soup recipes here if anyone wants to try some more recipes.
