This Homemade Cream of Mushroom Soup, made with simple all natural ingredients, is so easy to make and ready to use in a matter of minutes.
Homemade Cream of Mushroom Soup
Making homemade cream of mushroom soup is truly one of the easiest things to make instead of buying canned condensed soups. It is so much better to use in any of your casserole dishes, like this favorite Creamy Chicken Casserole or other recipes. Just knowing it is made without unnecessary yucky ingredients is a wonderful feeling. No MSG, no sodium, no soybean oil.
It is made with simple ingredients that you most likely have in your house at all times. We always have mushrooms since we eat the same Egg White Scramble for breakfast everyday. Plus it’s ready to use in about 5 minutes.
TIP: You can leave out the mushrooms and you have cream of chicken soup! If you have cooked chicken on hand you can dice up a ½ cup into tiny pieces and add it in. And you can also make cream of celery soup with ½ cup of diced celery.
So never fear if you don’t have a can of condensed soup in your house next time you want to make a recipe that calls for it.

I wii try it with whole wheat flour and heavy cream mixed with water as I’m trying to lower my carb intake. Has anyone tried pressure canning any for longer storage?

Would this keep in a mason jar outside of the fridge?
Sherri
It would need to be stored in the refrigerator since the jar is not being sealed (as in the canning process)

Does this recipe equal 1 or two cans of condensed soup? Can’t wait to make so easy! I have to buy gluten-free condensed soup and it’s so expensive for one can!
Sherri
It equals approximately 2 cans 🙂 Oh yes! It’s so much cheaper to make your own with GF flour. I like using Bob’s Red Mill one-to-one flour. Enjoy!

How can I make the mushroom soup gluten free?
Sherri
You could easily substitute with gluten free flour. Bob’s Red Mill has a great 1 to 1 version that I have used. I find it in my grocery store but Here is an amazon link for you too. http://amzn.to/1lBiVk4
