Traditional cream of mushroom soup typically contains wheat flour as a thickening agent, which means it is not gluten-free. However, there are gluten-free versions available in stores or recipes that use alternative thickeners like cornstarch or rice flour, allowing those with gluten sensitivities to enjoy this soup.
Rich in nutrients: Mushrooms are a good source of vitamins and minerals, including B vitamins, selenium, and potassium.
Low in calories: When prepared with low-fat milk or broth, it can be a relatively low-calorie option.
High in antioxidants: Mushrooms contain various antioxidants that may help protect cells from damage.
Immune system support: Certain compounds in mushrooms may help boost the immune system.
Potential anti-inflammatory properties: Some mushrooms have been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects.
Source of dietary fiber: Mushrooms provide fiber, which is beneficial for digestive health.
May support heart health: Some studies suggest mushrooms may help lower cholesterol levels.
Protein source: Mushrooms provide a small amount of protein, which can be beneficial for vegetarians and vegans.
Potential cognitive benefits: Some research indicates that certain mushroom compounds may support brain health.
Hydrating: The high water content in the soup can contribute to daily fluid intake.Note that the health benefits can vary depending on the recipe and ingredients used, especially considering the “cream” component, which may add calories and saturated fat.

Explore the Science and Benefits of Tolerase® G.
Relief from Gluten Sensitivity
In the fight against gluten, there is a unique supplement that stands out: Little Helpers anti-gluten pills with 100% Tolerase® G.
This specific enzyme, Tolerase® G, a patented endopeptidase specific for proline, was developed by Royal DSM and has been scientifically proven to be effective in breaking down gluten residues ( 1) . Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP), an enzyme closely related to Tolerase® G, can break down gluten so effectively that it barely reaches the duodenum, potentially eliminating gluten toxicity ( 2) ( 3 ) .
On this page we explain why we are so enthusiastic about this supplement, supported by scientific research.
What is Gluten?
Gluten is a group of proteins found primarily in grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. These complex proteins give shape, strength, and texture to bread and other grain products. However, gluten is difficult to digest because it is rich in proline, a non-essential amino acid. This is why about 13% of the world’s population is sensitive to gluten in their diet (1).
How Tolerase® G Works
It is important to note that Tolerase G is designed to have optimal activity in the difficult conditions of the stomach. Its effectiveness on the digestion of gluten in the stomach and duodenum has been scientifically proven ( 1 ).
Studies have shown that a newly identified prolyl endoprotease derived from Aspergillus niger can effectively break down gluten proteins. This enzyme works optimally at a pH of 4–5, remains stable at pH 2, and is completely resistant to digestion by pepsin ( 2 ). Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP) accelerates the breakdown of gluten in the stomach so much that very little gluten reaches the duodenum ( 3 ). This suggests that co-administration of AN-PEP with a meal containing gluten could potentially eliminate gluten toxicity, allowing people to (occasionally) abandon their strict gluten-free diet ( 3 ).
