Homemade Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup doubles as either soup or a solid base to use in other recipes, such as green bean casserole.
Homemade Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup
By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
Homemade Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup is my recipe of the day with the blogging group Soup Swappers. We post soup and stew recipes on various topics on the third Saturday of the month.
This month Wendy Klik of A Day in the Life on the Farm, our gracious host, has selected mushrooms to be our theme.
Mushrooms are a great Autumn vegetable, so with Fall just around the corner, this is perfect.
Condensed Soup for Recipes
Fall is a great time for me to make casseroles, many of which require the ubiquitous can of condensed soup.
However, it is quite easy to mix your own up at home, using a few simple ingredients. You will even like the flavor better. And no MSG.
Thick and Ready Soup for Recipes or Reconstituting
As you can see, it gets quite thick, and turns into ready to eat soup by adding milk and heating, exactly as you would canned soup.
Uses for Homemade Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup
You will love this in your noodle casseroles, in green bean casseroles, for mixing with chicken breasts and pork chops in the oven, and more.
An easy side dish is to cook some onion and extra mushrooms, 2 recipes worth of condensed soup, one cup milk, and stir that up to mix into half a large bag of egg noodles. That will serve four. Put some cooked chopped steaks or burgers on the plate with that and an extra veggie, and supper is ready.

Thank you for this Sue. I am so happy to have a homemade recipe instead of relying on a can. Sometimes I open the pantry and don’t find what I’m looking for.
