Why it works

Celiac disease: Naturally gluten-free all the way through, with the stock labelled gluten-free so nothing hidden sneaks in.
Milk allergy: The puree gets its creaminess from olive oil and cauliflower instead of butter or cream.

Celiac check: watch for hidden gluten in soy sauce, stock, malt vinegar and seasoning blends, and oats that aren’t certified. Gluten gives food ideas, not medical advice: always check labels for allergens and cross-contact.
