I’m Gluten-Free, What Can I Substitute For Flour?
The flour in this recipe is just a thickening agent, but you can use cornflour to replace the flour; it will also thicken the soup. The only change is that you will use half the amount of cornflour as you would flour. This recipe calls for 3 Tbsp. flour, so use 1 1/2 Tbsp. of cornflour instead.
