If she can't have the cream of mushroom soup, make a simple bechamel or
cream sauce using rice milk or whatever milk you use in recipes. In place
of any flour in the roux ussed to thicken the milk use some other
thickener, even corn or potato starch. If you like the mushrooms, just
add them to the sauce. You cn also make, a veloute sauce, using chicken
stock in place of the milk. My mother used t use this when making dishes
like chicken a la kingremember that one) or even those cream sauce curies
that used to be sandard like Country Captain."
